I think your best bet is to check with the makers of VT100 emulation
software for PCs and other computers. I don't know whether any of them
support non-ASCII characters, but I assume that some do. I used to know
people who designed Hebrew and Arabic terminals, and people who did
double-byte Japanese character sets in software, so I could probably find
out more.
