   I can somewhat confirm this; however, it's worth noting that since Python 3   
   uses unicode by default chr() doesn't behave the same as in Python 2. chr()   
   will output the unicode character of that number.   
      
   In a terminal you could use something like b'xc0'.decode('cp437') (sorry that's   
   just the hex code for the character I was testing with) to output an ANSI   
   character. But this also doesn't seem to output as expected with mpy.
