Hi

Sorry for cross-posting.

I'm looking or way to map numerical presentation used in the /dev/vcsa topresent each character (8 or 9 bit integer) to respective unicode codepoints. With US ASCII this is quite straighforward but with with accentedletters and graphics make a mess.

I have tried to read this table with GIO_UNISCRNMAP and GIO_UNIMAP ioctlsbut i got only most of the characters converted right, not all of them.


Any tips wellcome.
