You want to look at this manual.

Vt100 doesn't support soft char sets but vt220 on does.
Or here:

<http://bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/standards/EL-SM070-00_DEC_STD_070_Video_Systems_Reference_Manual_Dec91.pdf>
which is the DEC internal standard for VT200 and later series terminals, as a common
architecture for input and output encodings. I used that to implement VT220 emulation on
a Pro; as with various other DEC standards, the document is of such high quality that if
you do what it says, things just work. (That, unfortunately, is not the standard of
quality for most standards in other parts of the industry.)
