-> I expect the jumbo .U2 must have much more extensive character
-> tables, and in whatever formats exist for them (3-byte, etc.).

Try these commands:

TABLE CHARSET (can be abbreviated to TABLE C)
TABLE SPEEDOS (can be abbreviated to TABLE S)

Command HELP TABLE to view a list of other available Tables.

To produce any of the 910 characters in the XyWrite extended (a/k/a
Speedo) character set:

XYCHAR n (where n is a number from 0 to 909)
 or
XYCHAR [char name or hint] (e.g., XYCHAR tilde)

To produce any Ascii char 0-255 in 1- or 3-byte form:
PUTCHAR *,#
 where "*" is any decimal or hex number 0d-255d or 0h-FFh, or an
 Ascii char; and "#" is 1 or 3. For example:
PUTCHAR 126d,1 <== produces a 1-byte tilde
PUTCHAR 126d,3 <== produces a 3-byte tilde

Also, for easy access to accented characters, read the information
fetched by HELP ACCENTS.
