There are roughly 1001 extended ascii tables, I assume you mean Unicode,
as that is the table that all XML tools use?

The Unicode characters (or, in this case, equivalently ISO latin 1
characters) in that range are all non-printing control characters
(see list below) so you wouldn't expect any rendering in PDF.
