AFAIK HD44780 does not support writing to ROM (Read Only Memory)

From what I've read in specs updating ROM is not possible.

> update character rom

Just this. These additional characters are needed because standard LCD
does not have for instance Polish letters ążćł...

> read full rom
> read character rom
These I think is not possible because R/W pin is no permanently connected in HD 
and Maxim design.

This would be enough I think

This for updating. Or it could be similar to LCD_H/screenyx

LCD_H/update_display_cgramx 
index:bitmap

> do you have display protocol to do this job?
CG ROM has 64 bytes. Each bitmap is 8 bytes.
First set CG RAM address
RS R/W  d7d6  ...d0
0   0   0  1 (6 bit address)   the address if in range from 0 to 63  
after setting the address you write like to normal DD RAM, the counter
should increment itself
1   0   8 bits

So I think there shouldn't be a lot of code changes.
