So just to be sure I checked again and in Opera you can only get the  
"special" single-octet behavior if you active a particular state first. If  
you are in ASCII, Opera will simply emit the octet unless it is 0x1B (ESC)  
so maybe there is a system font that does something special for those  
characters? Or maybe you meant something else?
