But mkgmap support it if you take mp-format as input. Only with osm-input it
doesn't work.
Also i saw entrys for 0x1f in the PrependFilter.java and
HighwayshieldFilter.java.

Depending on the zoom level, only the first part is visible.
By wiping over the object you always can the see the whole label(limited by gps
display).
The problem with a ~[0x6]B51 Mainstreet is, that normally the whole Label is
visible on the description
page of the object in GPS e.g. for the case if it is not fully visible on the
map page.
But with ~[0x6]B51 Mainstreet, only "B51" will be shown on the description page.
You need a ~[0x6]B51~[0x1f]Mainstreet construct, so that it can work proper.

Sorry, but this only writes "~[0x1f]" in the img and this will be shown as
plain text in the label.

Maybe i missunderstood you, but you really mean that i should insert/modiy
single
bytes with a hex editor in the imgfile?
Your highway=* {name '${ref|highway-symbol:oval}<0x1f>${name}' simply writes
"<0x1f>"
in the img and this will be shown as plain text in the label.
