https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sixel is a raster protocol format part of VT200 and VT300 serial terminals
it recently started gaining traction on command line tools to output images directly to the terminal because it works trought ssh, works reasonably well, etc
for an implementation detail to copy the encoder/decoder, one can look at https://github.com/saitoha/libsixel , the url documents also a series of terminals and programs that support the standard
I realize it's a low priority feature, but it'd allow rather nice semi graphical workflow under termux's terminal, currently it's already possible to view sixel graphics from launching a ssh daemon and connecting externally with a sixel capable terminal emulator
