Subject: vt: decode UTF-8, render box-drawing/arrow glyphs procedurally
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

The editor's gutter '│' (U+2502) appeared as '???' — write_bytes fed
each UTF-8 byte to the state machine, which mapped every byte >= 0x80
to '?', and the Latin-1 font has no box-drawing glyphs anyway.

- vt.write_bytes now decodes UTF-8 sequences; printable non-ASCII
  dispatches to the glyph path instead of the byte parser.
- gop: unicode_glyph_bits() procedurally rasterises box-drawing
  (U+2500-257F light/heavy/double), arrows (U+2190-2193) and the em
  dash (U+2014) — pure geometry, no font data needed; blit_glyph falls
  back to it for ch >= 256.

Verified via framebuffer dumps: editor gutter │ renders as a vertical
line, help screen ═ separators and ←→↑↓ all render as lines (no '?').
Shell banner em dash renders too.
