Hmm. Ok: You have some encoding on console. It's hardwired. It's
US-ascii on my 386 and it's iso-latin-2 on my 486. You take unicode
char. See if you can display it. If not, look if you can display some
approximation (forget accent). If you can not, give up and print ?
instead. [In forum we additionaly try to approximate chars like 1/2
with string "1/2".] It's doable and I'm doing that in forum. :-)
