 You can then place whatever UTF8 characters you want into the second column. If you're using complex pictorial characters like some of the ones I've chosen, it's worth configuring your terminal to use a large font when playing NetHack - I use Bitstream Vera Sans Mono at 19pt (as big as I can get it and still fit 80 columns on the screen).

 It is possible to configure [[custom map symbols]] to arbitrary UTF8 characters using <code>konwert</code>.
