I think the code in char-displayable-p which looks at the result of internal-char-font should only accept a non-negative value if the terminal-coding-system supports the character. IOW, the Linux console should not be considered as being able to display a character unless the terminal encoding can safely encode it.
Wouldn't it be better if Emacs ignored terminal-coding-system when the output device is a Linux console and Emacs therefore knows exactly which characters the console can display? Instead, Emacs could simply display those characters as-is. This would result in a better user experience, surely.
