I don't see how it could be simpler than using a Linux console, since that is as simple as could be. I have 8 of them, and to use one, I just type the character that switches.
That won't change.
ISTR seeing a discussion about whether fbterm "steals characters".
It doesn't, when configured properly.
Is there a reason why you cannot (or do not want to?) use fbterm?1. It will be different 2. I don't have any idea how to use fbterm. 3. I odn't know what new inconveniences it would cause.
How to install and configure it is documented in efaq.texi (on latest master and emacs-28), around line 3050. Doing that will take you less time that you've already spent on trying to find a way to change the way Emacs handles nondisplayable characters on Linux consoles. If you need help, feel free to ask, either here or privately.
What you'll get is: 1. Full UTF-8 support, i.e. no "undisplayable" characters anymore. 2. 256 colors instead of 8. 3. Modern fonts instead of pixelated ones. There are no known inconveniences.
