Character Addresses
Both the ASCII and multinational character sets have hex values for each
character and symbol. The primary character set (ASCII characters) resides
at hex addresses ranging from 00 through 7F. The extended character set,
which contains the multinational characters, resides at hex addresses ranging
from 80 through FF. Table 71 shows each multinational character substitution
hex value and the applicable ASCII hex values. To access the extended
character set, VGL must be configured with the data bit 8 option enabled.

Making Character Substitutions
Multinational character sets are created by substituting the multinational
character values for the standard ASCII values. Each of the 12 multinational
character sets allows up to 16 character substitutions (located at hex 21, 22,
23, 24, 25, 26, 40, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E, 60, 7B, 7C, 7D, and 7E). The most
common character substitutions specific to a particular country are provided
in each set and shown in Table 71.

For example, when the Danish character set (page 348) is selected, calling
character address cell 5B substitutes the Danish character residing at C6 (Æ)
from the Multinational Character Set (page 347); when the Spanish character
set (page 349) is selected, calling character address cell 7C substitutes the
Spanish character residing at F1 (ñ) from the Multinational Character
Set.These substitutions are automatically performed when a particular
Multinational Character Set is selected.
