You would need to check the manual of the matrix printer. The printer only supports symbols defined by the manufacturer. Also, it has its own codepage. Most manufacturers keep the ascii characters the same but everything above that can be different. A good drivers will make the translation between codebases but if the character is not supported it won't come out correctly. If the printer supports upto 255 characters there is a good change that language specific symbols won't be available. But, check the manual and maybe you have an option to define your own symbols somehow but most of them are very limited.

Good luck!
