Yes, brltty can fallback to its own conversion routine.  However, it
does so only for latin1, cp437 and cp850. In all other cases (e.g.
latin2 or 9, utf-8), convertCharToWchar will always return WEOF.  Maybe
we should keep a fallback that assumes ASCII coding, to at least get
that properly converted?  (or perhaps even latin1).
