title: extended ascii chars and ansi in the mac osx terminal app
body: <p>i wanted to create some shellscripts that display pretty ansi colored graphics for osx but unfortunately i find just very little information about that topic.</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>osx seems to use monaco 10 as its default console font. is there some way to find out all displayable characters for this font?</li>
  <li>osx terminal runs in UTF-8 per default as far as i found out (can somebody confirm this?)</li>
  <li>is there a way to show or enter the extended ascii characters on osx (how it was done on windows/dos with alt gr+entering the digits)</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>thanks!</p>
