 Yes. Unfortunately, the 0x9B codepoint there is in some 8-bit charsets,
(russian CP-866 (IBM-866) for example).

=== IBM-866.TXT ===
0x9B     U042B   # CYRILLIC CAPITAL LETTER YERU


P.S. Another problem is 0xFF codepoint (not for Linux console, but for
some software and Telnet protocol).  In Windows-1251 (CP1251) :

=== CP1251.TXT ===
0xFF    U044F  # CYRILLIC SMALL LETTER YA
