first one is same as ' but lower down, in middle, used as a small
bullet
2nd one is like , but even lower down
third is overline, _ but at the top. Thats easily replaced with ascii
_

I dont know what system youre using, but if its windows, run the
character map and pick everything from there. Its POS software of
course, just dump all the chrs into a .txt file then its easy and fast
to use. You might have to install character map, its not installed
default. Or they can be copy n pasted.

For non windows, just get a complete listing of all the characters
available in a given font. ANSI has a lot more chrs than ASCII, I've
mostly done ANSI art, as I used an ANSI system, and minimum size was
much more important than universal compatibility.

A lot of my colour coded non-ascii stuff also has encoded padding so
it displays right on proportional font displays.

I'm not sure I understand, but feel free to import it if you want to.
I'm too busy these days.
