You want a RS232 compatible dumb terminal? I've done that. Once you have the LCD working with the microcontroller, use a MAX232 (or similar) to acquire the input, feed it into the micro's UART, and write a program to display the received character on the LCD.

Making it look nice, wrap around, scroll, etc, is just more coding. I did not require that functionality so I can't comment on what's required.


On the other hand, if you just want to send characters to an LCD serially, you can use a shift register, or you can buy an "LCD serial backpack"
