I guess you could send transmit the control sequence to switch to download mode, download the characters and follow with the message in the new character set. However, seeing as few sites have many of these wonder-terms, you would probably end up locking keyboards, resetting modes, and cluttering up the net. Of course AT&T Long Lines would love that (i.e., see article about the new AT&T LL clutter-up department... is that REALLY true??) I understand that the Japanese (and other Eastern area) computer companies had a devil of a time making up keyboards/character ROMs with all of the nifty characters that they have 'over there'.
