Yes, they have. The client (ie, the application generating the Postscript
code) should not rely on anything else than a 7-bit, no-control-chars data
flow. All non-ASCII characters and control characters should be sent in
backslash-octal form (ie, \014).
The info is in the Red Book. You just have to read it very carefully.
