This was discussed over two months ago, and is not a kernel problem.
0x9b is commonly used as a one-character equivalent of ESC [, and it
makes much more sense for Linux to support that meaning instead of
your particular encoding. ISO 8859-7 (also known as ISO IR 126, ELOT
928, and ECMA 118) is an international standard, contains both the
Roman and the Greek alphabets (including Greek letters with
diacriticals) and leaves 0x9b free to be used as CSI. What's more,
the kbd package appears to support this character set already,
including the fonts iso07.f* and the keyboard map gr.map.
