It is hard to know what that chart means. For example, if
you look on page two of the document (the actual chart),
you find that a vertical bar has a Unicode value of 2223
(not 22A5, which I read as a "flagpole" or something).
But if you look on the next page, under Operators, you
see 2223, and indented the value 007C for a "vertical line".

I have no idea what any of this means! I do notice
that I can get a vertical bar in my display text
if I use !z(2223) but it appears as a box in PostScript!
To get the vertical bar in PostScript I have to use
!z(007c).

Too weird...

Cheers,

David
