For which national character sets? 0x80 thru 0x9f are reserved for control characters in ISO6429 and ISO8859. Admittedly, IBM and Microsoft defined graphics for all 256 character positions, but syscons treats 0x00 thru 0x1f as control characters so the handling is already inconsistent. Maybe syscons needs some way to be told what are graphic characters and what can be interpreted as control characters.
