I'm not sure how to describe that in a precise way, but perhaps:

"For example, some text terminals cannot display grave quotes."

Is that sufficient, or do we need even more detail?  I'm not sure what
to add besides perhaps that graphical displays/frames (which word do
we prefer?) can display such characters.
