It looks to me as though the bit-map holds patterns for a "phantom"
character-set. In graphics mode, the VIC-II pretends that it is displaying
a text-screen that has an ascending sequence of character-codes -- from
$000 in the top, left corner to $3E7 in the bottom, right corner. So, the
graphics formula is an extension of the text formula.
char_code = int(y / 8) * 40 + int(x / 8)
