COMMAND: The SYMBOL command redefines the representation of a given character that has first
been specified in the SYMBOL AFTER command. The character number, is chosen from the
available ASCII or other characters from the CPC464' s standard character set, and the following
entries define the new character on an 8x8 pixel matrix. A 0 in the row indicates the paper colour to
be used and a 1 indicates that the pixel is to be set to the current ink colour. Also see Appendices II
and III. The example above produces a backslash that goes diagonally across the character cell,
accessible by pressing the ] key.
