A logical page is 60 lines high and 72 characters wide.
A physical page is expected to have a maximum capacity of 66 lines and 85 lines per character (rfc 678?).

Use "character escapes" to display special characters:
&#n; where n is a decimal
&#xn; where n is in hexadecimal representation

The following exist in capitals too: capitalize the first character (see example on E)

Some more characters (Unicode):

Roman Numerals

(And if you line up the first six symbols used for Roman numbers, you get: ⅮⅭⅬⅩⅥ. What number is this? See Rev 13:18. I think this means it is about an empire, not about the actual number.)
