IIRC, cp437, which used to be the default MS-DOS ROM codepage for United
States, contains a number of characters for ASCII art (single, double
and mixed frame borders and corners, several shades of grey dithering,
and dark blocks: full, vertical-split and horizontal-split) which aren't
in Latin1. All of them are in the upper half of the table, i.e.
somewhere in the range 0x80-0xFF.
