Is pressing left+right or up+down canonically allowed?

I know that technically PICO-8 allows both left and right (or up and down) to simultaneously be active, but is it allowed canonically?

In other words, does the cannon PICO-8 controller have a d-pad or 4 separate buttons for directions?

I recently got a Pico-8, so here is my Hello World.
Use left and right to change speed. The cart uses poke commands to do this.
Transitions could be handled better, but I don't know how.

Chars used for special chars in external editor?

I've been looking everywhere for this, and I can't find it.

What are the characters used for Pico-8's special characters (up, down, left, right, X button, O button, house, cat, etc.) during the external editor code export? I'm asking this because I want to make a extended Pico-8 font for use in Atom.

I don't own a Pico-8 (yet!), so I can't find out for myself.
