The character set is plain ASCII plus accented characters. It is a subset of ISO 8859-1, for the technically minded. As it happens, this is what PCs use, too. The following table shows the legal non-standard characters. On a PC, you should enter what is shown under PC Alt (using the ALT key, of course).
