HEX
You can also use HEX code instead of these numbers, e.g. the the star ★ is \146 but also 0x92 etc. Here' a handy table of all HEX values made by @richardjam13:
If you find any other code working let me know down here and I'll update the list!
Oh, this is cool. I figured out the pico8 special characters were represented as U+0080 to U+009A. I didn't know about the escape codes for them though.
\128 to \154 correspond to the capital letters in Pico8.
Edit: Oh, I just realized. 128 is 0x80 in hex. So that's why \128 is the same as U+0080
I printed all the chars from 16 to 255 and took a screenshot
