Which chars are not available on ComputerCraft 1.75 (Minecraft: 1.7.10)?
Please give me a List of bytes (which are not available in string.char(byte)).

Everything can be used in string, but not all can be printed.

Is there a way to hack this?

You can change the bitmap font file through a resource pack. Not sure how that works exactly.
1,777 posts is special.

Does anyone put something serious here?

Anything between 32 (' ') and 126 ('~') can be printed. Everything else is replaced with a question mark. This is hard coded into ComputerCraft, so a resource pack won't change this. 1.76+ (Minecraft 1.8+) allows printing more characters, but this won't be backported to 1.75.

Regardless of version,
string.byte/char supports values 0 through to 255. However, just because you can stick it into or extract it from a string, doesn't mean that ComputerCraft will print it, send it through rednet, write it to a file correctly, or transmit it over the web… you need 1.76+ for that.
ComputerCraft also only has a font file of its own as of 1.76. Earlier versions use
some characters from whatever texture pack you're using - as SquidDev says, characters it doesn't use are represented as question marks, and there's not a thing you can do about that.
