        Is this patch helps?

        Try to do this:

        consolechars -f cp857-8x16.psf -m straight-to-font
        ..type cp857 keys
        echo -ne '\033(U'
        ..type cp857 keys

        Are result the same? Anyway, '\033(U' is issued only for cp437
        codepage.

        ...to get unicode keysym U_LATIN_SMALL_LETTER_O_WITH_DIAERESIS
        (0x00f6)

        Just reverse translation unicode keysym (0x00f6) to bios
        return code (0x3394)

        $_external_char_set

 Baurjan> Or is the scenario incorrect?

        It should be. :)

        I don't know how cp857 looks like, wouldn't you check
        src/plugin/extra_charsets/cp857.c?
