charset ASCII

Draft MDC Standard

☞

2 charset ASCII

The charset ASCII is defined using the table A.1. The values in the columns headed Character ID and Character Symbol are taken from ASCII (X3.4–1990). The column headed patcode defines which characters match the patcodes A, C, E, L, N, P, and U. The characters in the table with a patcode of A are defined as idents. The collation rule used is STRING collation, using the collation order values provided in the table.
