Introduction

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 to 7F. The extended character set, which
contains the multinational characters, resides at hex addresses ranging from
80 to FF. Table 22 shows each multinational character substitution hex value
and the applicable ASCII hex values. To access the extended character set,
the IGP 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 21, 22, 23,
24, 25, 26, 40, 5B, 5C, 5D, 5E, 60, 7B, 7C, 7D, and 7E hex). The most
common character substitutions specific to a particular country are provided
in each set and shown in Table 22.

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