I have no experience working in alternate code pages, but might binary character fields and binary memo fields be of use?
From VFP7 help:
Character (Binary) Any character data you want to maintain without change across code pages 1 byte per character to 254 Any characters
Memo (Binary) Any memo field data you want to maintain without change across code pages 4 bytes in table Limited by available memory
