Umm, I didn't know this "Unicode compression". Would you
give me a reference? I just hope it is not going to be
popular:-)

The best way I'm imagining is that we keep the current
glyphs for the first 128 code points, but switch to use the
right part of Latin-1 encoding as soon as possible. Then
wait for someone to (re-)engage the multilingual project and
more exhaustive solution:-)
To be honest about this, provided NEL is avoided, the C1 controls
seem like a pretty safe place to put things. Microsoft are of that
opinion: the normal Windows code page these days ("Windows Latin 1",
code page 1252) is basically Latin 1 with a bunch of extra characters in
the C1 area, but, and this is the good bit: there are about 7 characters
left in the C1 area (apart from NEL) that they haven't assigned. That's
room for left and up arrows.
