I think you are over-simplifying. You'll have to account for the encoding and showing the glyph will depend on the font installed. If, for example, you are showing a Big5 encoding, the font must be in place if the user wants to see the glyph. Providing a font just to show control characters is an overkill. Draw the characters, such as "ACK", in another color at a smaller font size.
