Prints a graphic symbol such as the registered trademark or copyright sign instead of text.

What it does

The field data after ^GS is a single letter, A to E, and each letter selects one symbol; the guide names the registered trademark and copyright signs among them and shows the full letter-to-symbol table as an image.

Height and width are proportional to each other like font sizes; without values the last ^CF size is used.
