What looks like you want is the dos character set.
You can download this small(4kb) tsr that will show
you all the dos characters from my site.

http://www.gtcom.net/~krogg/storage/asc.zip

run the program and tap the [alt] key twice and
use the arrows to scroll up and down in the list.

Be Cool,
 Krogg.
