Re: "I had an idea the other day: I sometimes have to transfer..."
You'll struggle with some characters, like NULs, CR without LF (and vice versa), SUB (because it's used for EOF), ESC probably, etc...
I played with type-in MS-DOS programs a while back for the Atari Portfolio and posted my results in the comment section of the blog post that gave me the idea. The blog author wrote another post summarising my comments, which is still online if that's something that sounds useful?

I had an idea the other day: I sometimes have to transfer files to heavily closed off Windows PCs (Corporate IT and whatnot) and that is a PITA. Why not connect a Arduino Pro micro to it that presents itself as a HID Keyboard, and then feed the arduino from my laptop with the data over serial. The arduino can open a CMD box, do a "copy con" and then type the extents of the file, do a Ctrl-Z, and there you are. Also sending a binary as base64 and then using the Windows built-in base64 decoder...
