Mmm, by implementing it :)

More seriously, I haven't implemented it just because I didn't take the
time to do it, but it will be relatively simple, provided that you have
a Unicode Braille TTF font.

Another way to go without more development would be to force the use
of X11 and libXaw by turning the #if defined(WINDOWS) at the start of
BrailleDrivers/XWindow/braille.c into #if defined(BLAH) for instance.
You'll then need a Unicode Braille X11 font and run brltty in a UTF-8
locale. I have never tested it though (and can't right now).
