[liblouis-liblouisxml] Is there a work around for including bullet symbol, elipsis and other symbols with Win 1252 codes between 128 and 160?

Hi guysI
 Am b
Ack at working on improving the Icelandic Liblouis/NvDA tables.
I will submit them to this list shortly (testing first with nvda).
I apologize if this is asking the same question you have gotten before (feel 
free to point me to an arhive page of similar question).
It appears that LibLouis (well brltty to be exact) tables cannot include 
anysymbols in the 128 to 160 range of Win 1252, or at least they indicate 
control characters.
In the table I created for Jaws I could use these, and this range appears to 
include ellipsis symbols, the quotation mark used for Icelandic quotations 
(ascii code 132), the bullet sign (so common in lists, and lists are popular, 
because they make you smart, durn, I should have made this into a list 
*smiles*), the trademark symbol and a few others.
I looked at a few tables to see if there was a work around for these symbols, 
but I was unable to locate any.
Are there any explanations for this set up and possible work aronds so I can 
make sure these symbols are displayed with NVDA/Orca on a refreshable braille 
display (by committing an updated is.cbt table .. the current one has quite a 
few problems with it, and the standard has been updatd since).
All help much appreciated.
