Password extended characters if username has PWDMIX

What are the valid extended characters that may be used when a username has the flag "PWDMIX"?

WIlliam,

If you have PWDMIX authorization, you can specify uppercase and lowercase alphabetic characters, and you can use any special characters in the printable character set.
However, avoid using characters that have special significance for layered products that accept passwords. For example, a double quotation mark (") would be unacceptable in a password in a DECnet access control string.
