I'm not telling you what serial terminal I use with iPXE... just using 
this as an illustration that such a seemingly simple question has a very 
complicated answer.

If you only care about the PC-defined text mode the answer is relatively 
simple, because the PC charset is rather well known.

However iPXE has so many options (does EFI provide the PC charset even 
if a system starts in graphical mode?) that the impact is not so easy to 
predict. Sticking to ASCII is guaranteed to work.
