More on UTF-8 issues

[Willem van der Walt]

I think one should be able to make a copy of characters and edit it so 
that it says the correct words for these characters when reading them one 
by one.
One then just cat the edited file over the one in 
/sys/module/speakup/parameters/characters (path is from memory and might 
be wrong).
