Meaningful symbols it generates:

%d,%d,%d,%d|COMPRESSED

First four values: continent ID as per client, X coordinate in yards as per client via Astrolabe, Y coordinate in yards as per client via Astrolabe, faction ID (Alliance/Horde)
Compressed data is complicated lzw'ed hideousness.
Version number is probably contained in the |, I'll change that when I need to change meaning.
User is assumed to start facing right, all turns are 90 degrees.

Allowed values, post-lookup-table listed below, are:

^ - forward
< - turn left and move forward
> - turn right and move forward
v - turn around and move forward
C - combo indicator, each one indicates that another next UDLR is part of a single move (the toggles are zero-time anyway)
S - swim toggle
X - taxi toggle
M - mount toggle
Y - flying mount toggle
D - dead/ghost toggle
