I use these mappings:
ASCII => PETSCII
-----------------------
_ 0x5f 0xa4
` 0x60 0xad
{ 0x7b 0xb3
| 0x7c 0xdd
} 0x7d 0xab
~ 0x7e 0xb7
The first one is thinner than Groepaz's choice; the last one is thicker.
The second one looks like a giant version of that ASCII accent-grave.
The third and fifth ones look like "pinched" braces.
The fourth one is the same as Groepaz's character,
but it is the "official" PETSCII value.
