|0x7E
|Reads the following 2 characters '''as hex''' and prints the result. Can be used to print normally unprintable characters such as brackets and 0x7E itself. Example: <code>~5B ~5D</code> will result in <code>[ ]</code> in-game.<br>Note: <code>~7E</code> results in a second small tilde (<code>˜</code>) in-game. Use the Shift-JIS character described below for a full tilde.

|0x81
|Shift-JIS activator. Used normally in Japanese, but the international versions also use it to display the following extra characters from <code>kanji.dat/table 129</code>:

As a side note, [D:0], [D:1] and [D:2] are intended to display the [[File:M-T4.png]], [[File:M-T5.png]] and [[File:M-T6.png]] icons respectively, but this functionality has been deliberately disabled in all available versions of the base game, which will simply ignore the debug tags. The tags can still be widely seen in many of the game's unused strings.

A detailed table of all [CS:X] subtags and their intended purpose in the base game.
The colors are stored in FONT/text_pal.pal, and are stored slightly brighter than they appear in-game. When loaded in-game, the last three bits of each value (R, G, & B) are trimmed off to make the whole color fit within 2 bytes rather than 4, so a number like FF (0b11111111) would become F8 (0b11111000). The colors as coded in FONT/text_pal.pal are listed in the "Internal Color" column, and their location in the file is also provided. <!-- Is this paragraph too wordy...? -->
