You can switch into alternate character set (cs) with Shift-Out, ASCII SO,
hex 0E, ^N and switch back to normal cs with Shift-In, ASCII SI, hex 0F, ^O.
One other way to switch to normal cs is ESC c, which also clears your screen.
Of course, the remote host has to echo back these characters, because if you
hit them, they just get sent and not displayed. You can, however, switch Echo
on and then hit ^O, that should do it.
