The article says "text such as type samples, part numbers, illustrations of binary data" should be marked as zxx.

What about things like computer code, ASCII art, or formulas? Should they also be marked as zxx?

Only if a language tag is required. But yes, zxx is the tag for non-linguistic textual data.
