Offhand do you know where one might download a chart of these characters
with the code numbers?

I've got an old BASIC text that had a chart.

Any book/chart *that gives the ASCII chart from 1 thru 255 in the old IBM
format will have it.

You can also open up a note pad file on your desktop and type out the
list.

220, Alt 220, ?

Windows charmap app. Find it in the Start menu, all programs, accessories..
Or run charmap.exe from the cmd prompt or 'Run...' menu. It has the numeric
code, and can also copy the character to the clipboard. Unfortunately, the
number codes are given in hexadecimal.

Don't you get a whole keyboard full of special characters by either
holding down the option or the option-shift key(s)?
