Yes, that's what char-displayable-p does now: it checks that the 
character is one of the at-most-512 characters that the Linux console 
can currently display. For Linux consoles this is independent of 
terminal-coding-system. The problem is that other parts of the code obey 
terminal-coding-system instead of what the Linux console can actually 
display.
