What is that unnamed CS chart; i.e. why not share what is being
reviewed, so the audience knows\sees the same thing? What keyboard is
being used, given the implication the characters are "non-keyboard
characters"? What are the names, e.g. the GCGID Name, of "those
characters"?

<plug>If you have QuestView installed (and you don't even have to have a valid authorization code for this), then CALL VIEWREF from a command line brings up a screen that shows (among other things) what the displayable EBCDIC codepoints and the displayable screen attributes look like on YOUR terminal.</plug>

And of course, you can find relevant EBCDIC charts in the 5250 data stream book, and (probably) also in the manual for whatever terminal you're using.
