So, I found myself wanting a full list of all the supported characters and their byte values, so I put together a list.
Charset

CC has a lot of unicode or something characters, a map of those chars would also be nice :)/>

This is very useful!
You could fix the weird small image problem by uploading it to Imgur and linking it:

they are the ms-dos chars.
Edit: If you hold down left alt and type them codes into the numpad and then release alt it will make that char (AltCodes)

Sure, it is the standard extended ASCII charset, but it has the addition of special characters that represent smaller pixels at characters 128-159

That's odd, I can't recall a build where 127 looked like that.

I see a bunch of duplicate characters, like 20 and 182 or 0 and 9 and 10 and 13 and 128, which could be used to expand the character set even more.
EDIT: 21 and 167.

0, 9, 10, 13 and 128 serve a purpose as nothing because they are whitespace characters in ASCII (and the smaller pixels extension of CC)
20 and 21 could be changed to something else, not sure which character we deserately need, maybe a 6x4 or 6x5 box for half-pixels.

Oh, I see. Well, a euro sign (€) would be useful to have as another very common currency.

I'm not really sure about the usefulness of signs such as 180 (´ - Acute accent - spacing acute) and 184 (¸ - Spacing cedilla). Where exactly would you use them? They're quite specific to my mind and maybe could be replaced with some more usable and generic
BTW, I noticed that the characters 238 and 206 look like nice torches.

Also, I believe the paint program in the new versions of the mod use that character for transparency.

9, 10 and 13 are purposely blank, they are control characters, for horizontal tab, newline and vertical tab respectively.
0 is the null byte and has always been represented as "nothing", 128 is also blank I think to keep consistency with the pixel characters.
20 and 21 could be changed since they're duplicate of 182 and 167.

Yeah, that representation is just a little off.
FWIW this is the set used in-game:

… which is identical, other than that one character.
Here's what I get with my

Good observation. I wonder why it's like that?

Ah, that seems to be an artifact from when I updated CCEmuRedux to use the new font when CC was at 1.76pr6, and didn't notice it'd changed for the final release of 1.76, I've just updated it.
