Yes, there is documentation available.

NO, it is not in a tech note.

The standard one was documented in the original Apple II Reference manual.
Both standard & mousetext are documented in the Apple //e Technical Reference
and the Apple //c Technical Reference.

Getting the alternate character set by turning on the 80 column firmware
(whether or not you use 80 columns) is documented in the manual that comes with
the //e's 80 column card... I have one somewhere.

It is probably also documented in the IIgs Hardware & Firmware references, but
I hardly ever refer to that section so I don't know what kind of treatment they
give it.
