This is NOT a bug, but a note to inform people about a tool that works with NetHack since version 3.4 and has been tested with version 3.7. It allows the use of symbol sets that use the IBM CP437 code page and some other symbol sets on modern UTF systems without modifying the NetHack symbols file. It is used like this:
export NETHACKOPTIONS=symset:IBMgraphics
nethack | tolocal
It works with IBMgraphics, IBMGraphics_1, IBMGraphics_2, RogueIBM, RogueEpyx and RogueWindows
This also works with many other code pages and other programs.
