        Mmm, would you please tell me how?

You can probably play with the parity.  Configuring the uart for 8 data bits
and MARK parity will give you a 9th ONE bit, 8 data bits and SPACE parity
will give you a 9th zero bit.  Beware the time the parity bit is actually
generated; if you output data, you may have to wait several bittimes before
changing the parity configuration of the uart...
