Character mapping

Somewhere in the system there must be a file, which contains
character
mapping. I noticed, that after loading a VGA font file,
there is surely some
character remapping done - f.e. character with the code 179
dec ("power 3",
"3 superscript") is currently shown on the
screen as "normal" 3 (the one of
the code 63 - although the code of character in the file
will be properly
written as 179). I understand, it's just because the common
"IBM PC character
set" just doesn't contain "upper 3" - so
it's replaced with similar char.

I would to try to make some remapping - but where is that
table? I need to
find table with map of kind: "code of typed character
-> code of displayed
character". Just to, let's say, replace that
"normal 3" with some other
character.
