Willy, Geert: this seems obvious, but do you know if the broader range
was intended for some reason? In that case, adding a comment to the
code would be good. I found some related docs at
Documentation/misc-devices/lcd-panel-cgram.txt by Willy (which, by the
way, maybe now we should move them to Documentations/auxdisplay); but
the paragraph does indeed say they have to be hex:

'''
Some LCDs allow you to define up to 8 characters, mapped to ASCII
characters 0 to 7. The escape code to define a new character is
'\e[LG' followed by one digit from 0 to 7, representing the character
number, and up to 8 couples of hex digits terminated by a semi-colon
(';').
