Jul 26, 2010 · The plain TeX is preprocessed into the binary format file tex.fmt (or similar depending on the extension) and it is read by the TeX program automatically if no another format file is specified. This means that tex document runs TeX plus tex.fmt plus document, or pdftex document runs pdfTeX plus pdftex.fmt (which is the result of preprocessing a somewhat extended plain.tex ) plus document.
The correct link seems to keep changing, but if you have a complete TeX Live installation, the command texdoc symbols-a4 will display your local copy. \textbackslash and \textasciitilde are found in several places in the document, but the LaTeX 2e ASCII Table (Table 529 as of this writing) and the following discussion are a convenient resource for all ASCII characters.
