I can somewhat confirm this; however, it's worth noting that since Python 3 uses unicode by default chr() doesn't behave the same as in Python 2. chr() will output the unicode character of that number.

In a terminal you could use something like b'xc0'.decode('cp437') (sorry that's just the hex code for the character I was testing with) to output an ANSI character. But this also doesn't seem to output as expected with mpy. 

.... My software never has bugs. It just develops random features...
