When i display character 208 in my console and move my mouse, i see
the strangest things. FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE-p8, with default screenmap
and console settings.

wget and cat that file in a console to see the effect.
I tried it on my laptop and desktop PC with same kernel. Anyone else
experience this problem/effect? I think it should be a pi character
upside down, mostly used to draw tables in combination with other
characters...
Mouse cursor mapping artifact. In text mode on PC hardware, the mouse
pointer has to be mapped to a character in order to show fancy pointer.
Nothing to worry about.
Someone with a lot of time could modify syscons to treat the 256
hardware VGA characters as a window onto a larger character space,
and dynamically remap them as needed. That and a unicode VGA font
(like at http://www.inp.nsk.su/~bolkhov/files/fonts/univga/ ) would
allow a utf-8 console to display the 256 most common characters on the
screen (252 if the mouse is onscreen) whatever they happen to be.
