For applications which need fixed-width one-byte display, there obviously
will not be a multibyte approximation (which is language-dependent anyway).

You need to stuff _some_ tabels into the kernel, whether they're Unicode or

do this we have yet invented, we do it that way until some better universal
standard comes along.
Fair enough?
