In v3.20, when connecting via RLogin with an unrecognized user name, I receive
the following in SyncTERM for Windows (all versions):
```

But with the new terminal abstraction in Synchronet, the following is
displayed in SyncTERM for Windows (all versions):
```

I find this baffling as SyncTERM is only receiving and displaying CP437, but
the char 251 (square root / checkmark) is being translated into a superscript
'1' (U+00B9) - glyph that doesn't even exist in CP437.
