I figured out how to get the Pico8 special characters (the ones you get when typing capitals) in Picotron. The special characters start at U+0080 and go all the way up to U+0099. All unknown characters seem to display the same.
I don't know of a convenient way to type these into picotron, but if you copy paste the list below, you can save them to a text file for reference. It's a little annoying because none of them are actually printable characters. UTF-8 doesn't seem to like having them bare, so when you copy paste, it will actually be U+00C2 U+0080 instead of just U+0080.
A: B: C: D: E: F: G: H: I: J: K: L: M: N: O: P: Q: R: S: T: U: V: W: X: Y: Z: Unknown: Â |
As of right now, despite how they're stored internally, copy/paste stores them as these characters, which you can use from outside to put them in your text also:
█▒🐱⬇️░✽●♥☉웃⌂⬅️😐♪🅾️◆…➡️★⧗⬆️ˇ∧❎▤▥ |
However, it seems any other method of inputting these characters—e.g. compose key—will just input the codepoints, which come out as gibberish (mostly consisting of random japanese characters i think)
Also there's some other unicode characters you can't type with their normal codepoints that may be of some use to folks who find this, though some of them look kinda weird in the font (the last one just displays like a regular quotation mark for some reason):
▮■□⁙⁘‖◀▶「」¥•、。゛ |
Pasting these characters also doesn't result in the excess codepoints, so it's more convenient than trying to paste the values you've put here.
