Character Translations in VT100 Mode

The VT100 protocol does not support special characters such as line draw characters. These characters are translated so that they can be displayed on the VT100 screen. Character translation is used for improved VT100 screen display and has no effect on functionality of BIOS Serial Console.

Currently, the special characters in the table are translated into VT100 characters using VT100 protocol.
