What happened to consolechars?

["Thomas H. George" <lists@tomgeorge.info>]

Some characters are not displayed correctly on my monitor.  The command
consolechars -d used to correct this problem but now it is unknown.

Specifically the problem is typically with the arrows which mutt uses to
indicate the subject threads.  Instead of lines and arrows the display
uses the letter a with a circumflex, the 3/4 character, the copywrite
symbol and another special symbol.

In text occasionally odd symbols appear in the middle of words and in
place of numbers or bullets in lists of items.

Normally I just ignore all this as I know what is meant but occasionally
it results in some ambiguity.  In the past when this was a problem I
used the command consolechars -d where the -d was to restore a default
character set.  Since lang=en.US,UTF-8 has always been specified in
locale I have no idea what this default character set was, I only knew
it fixed the problem.

Now the command is gone and apt-cache search consolechars returns
nothing.
