Nice!

Does it support the new 3x2 and 4x2 mosaic characters (and the HP big 3x3 cell letters) from recent Unicode specs?

Unicode 13 added the 3x2s and 16 the 4x2s. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_for_Legacy_Computing and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbols_for_Legacy_Computing_S...

Thank you. I was searching for 3x2 and combination and the likes.

3x2 were more popular, used in, among others, Teletext and the TRS-80. The only place we found the 4x2s was the Kaypro portable (using the upper 128 positions of the character generator plus a reverse video bit to get all 265 combinations).
