// On terminals with Unicode symbols: ✔
// On other terminals: √
console.log(mainSymbols.tick);
// On all terminals: ✔
console.log(fallbackSymbols.tick);
// On all terminals: √
console.log(replaceSymbols('✔ check'));
// On terminals with Unicode symbols: ✔ check
// On other terminals: √ checkType: object

// On other terminals: √ checkFallback characters are only shown when they differ from the Main ones.
