OK, mea culpa... since I'm french, I focused on the latin1 thinking
this has something to do with my language and the custom to deal with
latin1 on other systems.
I guess I could create a keyboard that produces not UTF-8 but bytes
so to have a mean to input bytes (without resorting to printf or
whatever). Remains the problem of the rendering (or create a
special font that displays octal, hexadecimal or whatever playing
with the index of the glyphes; but this will work for octets, and will
be more difficult if one wants to deal with wydes; impossible with
tetras and octas).
