I didn't know how to come up with a better subject, but I noticed that
if the terminal is incapable of showing a character, up-arrow will show
something different than "history"

$ whatever \U+1F917
...
$ history 4
:
:
   123 07-12 18:07  whatever
   124 07-12 18:07  history 4
$ <▲>
$ whatever \U+1F917

Worse:

$ history | grep whatever | cat -ve

   123 07-12 18:07  whatever M-pM-^_M-$M-^W$
