Ubuntu (and any Linux distribution) supports the Unicode standard, and you have more than 20000 characters to choose from (instead of 127 to 255).

I am not familiar with Konsole; if you can install the GNOME desktop, start GNOME Terminal and type Ctrl+Shift+u, then type the Unicode code of the character you want to print.
For available characters, see Applications/Accessories/Character Map (again, that's Ubuntu).

For example,
‣⁂⁑⁜⁕⁴⁵⁶⁷€ↂ⇫∰∎⌨⌘⍍⏏ⓤⓑⓤⓝⓣⓤ╒╤══╕█▓▒░◢◣◢◣☤☘☺☯✺✹✡

Thanks a lot for your help, but it doesnt work.
I tryed in a konsole session :
Settings --> Keyboard
and choose Linux console
and then typed Ctrl+Shift+u and the Unicode code of the character;
I tried the decimal code and the exadecimal code and neither work.
Thanks again for your help.

The Ctrl+Shift+u works for Ubuntu, which means you need to use "gnome-terminal" instead of konsole (Kubuntu).
Use Synaptic Package Manager and install "gnome-terminal".

I've installed the gnome-terminal and it works fine.
My question is solved.
Thank very much.
