You don't even need to do that with an extended segment. The
Windows-125x sets are all IANA-registered, which should be enough for
global uniqueness. To represent the text, you just use the name of
the character set: ESC % / 1 <M> <L> Windows-1252 STX ... where <M>
and <L> encode the length of the segment and ESC and STX are the ASCII
control characters 0x1B and 0x02.

ctext can, because in the extended segment the characters will be
represented as themselves. Whether Mule can or not is a different
story. However, I'm fairly sure that all of the characters that
Windows 125x put into the C1 space are encodable by Mule. See
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/reference/sbcs/1252.htm
for example.
