AFAIK there are no particular care in the project regarding visually
impaired developers, maybe we are already using things that exclude
them.
IOW without a project policy to include visually impaired developers,
my comment is irrelevant and it shouldn't restrict the use of unicode
to improve documentation.
Personally I'd rather we keep the project open to all possible contributors.
