I can certainly fix my debugger/emulator to support Halfnut characters if needed, and looking at the source indicates that it probably already does.
However, I cannot change the ROMs in my Halfnuts, and I do not have any Halfnut LCD on my 41CL (and it is unlikely, if at all possible, that people have such calculators).

I can use my 41CLv2 board and transfer it to a custom build machine if you want (FN-41 with a HN-LCD).

I used Windows a lot professionally and personally until I got tired of spending more time managing the platform than using it.
Since then, 2005, I refused all jobs that was forcing me to use Windows, converted all existing home machines to Linux/BSD and when buying new machines, it was either Linux/BSD-on-PC or macOS-on-MacBookPro.
On rare times that I have no choice to use Windows in a VM, I always uses Windows 7, I just cannot stand the UI craziness of Windows 8.X and Windows 10, strange how perception works
