Hey Ozz!
Below is a list of hex strings that match the utf8 equivelents for different
IBM codepages. Note that most, if indeed not all, of the line/box characters
in CP437 and CP866 match whereas CP850 and CP855 match the more used ones such
as dec 176. I created the table using glibc's 'iconv' piped to 'xxd -ps' to
come up with the hex strings. For outputting a specific decimal code for all
codepages a simple bash 'echo' can be encorporated such as this for decimal
155;
echo -e "\xc2\xa2 \xc3\xb8 \xd0\x8f \xd0\xab" -> ¢ ø Џ Ы
Dec CP437 CP850 CP855 CP866

Let me know what you think of the idea and I am sure we could come up with a
better map if it matters. Bottom line is that you could come up with a "bottom
line" in 8 bit codes that will be the same for the above codepages and
potentially more.
Life is good,
Maurice
