5 Multinational Character

Sets

Overview

The Multinational Character Set accesses one of 32 international character

sets. Each character set is 96 characters long and can be accessed by

configuration selection or a Code V command. Individual characters in the

font can be accessed with the use of data bit 8. The character sets and their

corresponding set values are shown in Table 43.

Standard sets 0 through 11 are resident character sets. Sets 12 through 23

are reserved spaces in font memory for future resident character sets. If a

value from 12 through 23 is called when attempting to choose a character set,

the character font will default to ASCII. Character set values 24 through 31

are reserved for user-defined sets. You can create custom character sets

from existing characters in font memory. If you select a set value from 24 to

31 when no new character set has been created or assigned that value, the

character font will default to ASCII.

Refer to page 261 for printouts of the primary and extended character sets

and their corresponding values.
