On the other hand, I think I received them all OK.

  ,Aa\xC3 (B  ,Aced $,1 b ,Af~p $,1!% / d u!!!> h ,Av $,1 q ,Ax $,1 % G'H(one (B

I don't know if I can _transmit_ them, of course...  so that's

 ,Aa (B a acute
\xC3       A ...tilde?  Could be a circumflex.  Unfortunately I don't have any
                     easy way of viewing this output at a larger type size...
 ,Ac (B a tilde
 ,Ae (B aring
 ,Ad (B a dieresis
 $,1 b (B       barred l
 ,Af (B ash
 ,A~ (B thorn
 ,Ap (B edh
 $,1!% (B       t hacek (unless it's a t-tilde)
 $,1 / (B       d hacek
 $,1 d (B       n acute
 $,1 u (B       r acute
 $,1!! (B       s hacek
 $,1!> (B       z hacek
 $,1 h (B       n hacek
 ,Av (B o dieresis
 $,1 q (B       some kind of squarish o with a double acute on it.  That's what it
                     looks like, anyway... maybe O-dieresis
 ,Ax (B o with diagonal bar
 $,1 % (B       a right hook
 $,1 G (B       h bar
 $,1'H (B       psi
 $,1(o (B       cyrillic... I don't know the correct name, like a reversed R
 $,1ne (B       w dieresis
