128-255. And still completely useless - the meaning of those 128 codepoints is totally dependent on the encoding used (Latin-1, MacRoman, Greek, Cyrillic, etc). For example, codepoint 162 represents the same glyph in Latin-1 and MacRoman, but different glyphs in Greek and Cyrillic:
tell application "TextCommands"
set c to string characters 162
set lst to {}
repeat with enc in {"latin1", "macroman", "greek", "cyrillic"}
set lst's end to convert to unicode c from enc
end repeat
end tell
lst
has
