SI/SO is also relevant for line draw characters and the like.

Here is a key for the default set in my (X11) term emulator,
I presume it is the same as what the console supports:

_ ` a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z { | } ~
â â â â â â â Â Â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â â Ï â Â Â

Those are important, and the console should continue to support them
even when not in UTF-8 mode.
