Keen 1 in-game font special characters

In 1FON0000.BMP I can see tiles that are unused. Can anybody tell me what are the special characters for them?

Example:

In Keen 1, in the help menu this is Keen's graphic by the "Commander Keen says" sign:

—˜
™š

So what are the special characters of the unused font-tiles? Help me, because I wanna "play" with this "tile-fonts" (I wanna test them).


EDIT: I've found some.

˙ - thick red '>' arrow (with grey background)
ť - mini pizza
– - up+left arrow (red with grey background)
› - mini lollipop

But help me how and where to find the others!

Here's a list of all the ones that will print, good luck using them and beware, nearly all the tiles ARE used somewhere. Bracketed values don't print, you can't easily type them.
