I got curious again and tried harder. There do not seem to be any symbols outside of ASCII values 32 through 126. There is a second set of the same but skinnier starting at 160 (32+128).

My local Lua 5.3 seems to have a utf8 module, but the Lua inside TIC-80 doesn’t.

Here’s the code to look at all the available characters in TIC-80:

cls()

first = 32
perrow = 32

for i=first,255 do
    print(string.char(i), (i-first)%perrow * 7.5, (i-first)//perrow * 10)
end

-- This gives an error in TIC-80 but works in a local Lua 5.3.5 install
-- print(utf8.codepoint("웃"))

function TIC()
end
