[BRLTTY] possible problem or bug with 5.0

[covici at ccs.covici.com]

I did a hexdump of the file to get the character.  What is in my file
wit the section sign is actually a7c2 -- all characters seem to be two
bytes.
I do have unicode=yes in my /etc/rc.conf, so it is supported for
keyboards and screens.
But I have had this all along and its something different about brltty
between 4.5 and 5.0 which I am wondering about.
