Just manually display it with _putc.

  ld hl,($c3e5+shiftFlags)  ;register l contains shift flags
  ld a,224  ;second
  bit shift2nd,l
  jr nz,dispcursor
  dec a     ;cursor
  bit shiftAlpha,l
  jr z,dispcursor
  ld a,225  ;uppercase
  bit shiftLwrAlpha,l
  jr z,dispcursor
  inc a     ;lowercase
dispcursor:
  call _putc
