"Safe" characters (unlikely to be interpreted wrongly in national variants, etc.) are all chars from sticks 2 and 3 ($20-$3F) excluding # ($23) and $ ($24).

Earlier glyphs include:

Glyphs Representing Control Codes and Keys

Unicode has a set of control pictures for C0 control codes and a few other generic codes, including generic NL, but not C1 control codes:

        0   1   2   3   4   5   6   7   8   9   A   B   C   D   E   F
