I tried default8x16, but then the norwegian character ø didn't show correctly, at least not on my braille display. > Although I just checked that LatArCyrHeb* at least works for your c= haracter. Strange, not on my system. I switched to LatArCyrHeb-16 the char 179 is displayed as a question mark on my braille display (screen reader is BRLTTY). I got a sighted person to check, and it's displayed like a pentagon. It's displayed the same as Alt-178 also. Of course it's stran= ge that it's displayed as question mark on the braille display, since only question mark is defined as question mark in the used braille table. UTF-8 is not supported by BRLTTY. >> Character : =B3 (0263, 179, 0xb3 >> charset: eight-bit-graphic (8-bit graphic char (0xa0..0xff)) >> code point: 179 > > 0xb3 (or alt-179) produces a vertical bar in most DOS codepages (incl > 437, 850, ..) Ok, but it should not be displayed exactly as the normal vertical bar |? It has to have it's own uniqe representation? Is there other things to try?
