> So... is there any way or proposal to encode a vector image in the terminal?

For raster images there are sixels, and for vector there are the tektronix codes. These are standard in xterm since forever.

Of course, they could be modernized, using real raster pixels and something like a subset of svg. I guess before standarization it would be better to have a reference implementation included in a major standard terminal.
