	Control character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In computing, a control character or non-printing character, is a code point (a number) in a character set that does not in itself represent a written symbol.
		The transmission control characters were intended to structure a data stream and manage retransmission or graceful failure as needed in the face of transmission errors.
		The escape character was intended to be a marker of a binary (ie, non text character) value in a data stream that might otherwise be interpretable as a control character.

	Character Sets: MARC-8 Environment (Library of Congress)
		Graphic character sets may be represented by either 8 bits per character, or, where a larger number of characters needs to be accommodated by the character set, by more than 8 bits codes per character (usually in multiples of 8).
		The latter two control characters are used to control the environment of graphic characters whose proximity to other characters affects their processing.
		Escape sequences to designate alternate graphic character sets may occur wherever the alternate characters are needed, e.g., within a word, at the beginning of a subfield, or in the middle of a subfield.

	Guidelines for the Non-Sorting Control Character Technique (Library of Congress)
		With Proposal No 98-16R (Nonfiling characters in all MARC formats), the MARC 21 community approved the use of beginning and ending control characters to block off nonfiling or non-sorting characters in MARC 21 records.
		When the non-sorting control characters are used for a non-sorting zone for which the nonfiling indicator is defined, the nonfiling indicator value must be set to zero.
		Non-sorting control characters may also be used in the same fields and subfields as those of the authority format when those fields and subfields occur in the MARC 21 classification format.

		Control character values should be tested with applications before assigning them as a default value.

		A transmission control character used by a synchronous transmission system in the absence of any other character (idle condition) to provide a signal from which synchronism may be achieved or retained between data terminal equipment.
		A transmission control character used to indicate the end of a transmission block of data where data is divided into such blocks for transmission purposes.
		A control character that may be used to identify the physical end of a medium, or the end of the used portion of a medium, or the end of the wanted portion of data recoreded on a medium.

	Character (Java 2 Platform SE v1.4.2)
		If a character has no explicit titlecase mapping and is not itself a titlecase char according to UnicodeData, then the uppercase mapping is returned as an equivalent titlecase mapping.
		If the character has a numeric value that cannot be represented as a nonnegative integer (for example, a fractional value), then -2 is returned.
		A character is considered to be a space character if and only if it is specified to be a space character by the Unicode standard.

		To deal with these cases, a set of directional formatting control characters are defined to control the ordering of characters when rendered.
		The RLM character acts as another Arabic character and so the bracket (which is a weak character) changes its direction and moves to its correct place.
		The LRM character acts as another Latin character and so the dot (which is a weak character) changes its place.

		It defines all the C1 control characters, and specifies that certain two-character ESCape sequences in the 7-bit environment are to act exactly like the 8-bit C1 control set.
		Definitions: Control Character - A single character with an ASCII code with the range of 000 to 037 and 200 to 237 octal, 00 to 1F and 80 to 9F hex.
		Intermediate characters are space through slash (40 to 57 octal, 20 to 2F hex) and parameter characters are zero through question mark (60 to 77 octal, 30 to 3F hex, including digits and semicolon).

		There are times when you need to use non-printing control characters in a script file.
		Another time you might also need to use non-printable strings of characters is for controlling a terminal; you won't want to type an Escape character directly into the file.
		The answer is to use a command that will create the control characters as the script runs - and store them in shell variables.

	Shift-Out/Shift-In Control Character Handling
		The shift-out/shift-in (SO/SI) control characters are handled slightly differently between the Asian HP terminal and the IBM Asian display station.
		If a field is already full, and Pass Thru attempts to insert SO and SI control characters around the DBCS characters, data overflow may occur, because Pass Thru has no room to insert the additional SO and SI control characters.
		Instead of displaying the SO and SI control characters directly on the HP terminal, Pass Thru will map the SO and SI characters to a single-byte blank and display them as blanks on the HP terminal screen.

	FAQ - Character Properties, Case Mappings and Names
		A: Private use characters (also known as user defined characters) are used commonly in East Asia, particularly Japan, China, and Korea, to extend the available characters in various national standard and vendor character sets.
		A: No. The ISO 8859-1 standard defines the SOFT HYPHEN as "[a] graphic character that is imaged by a graphic symbol identical with, or similar to, that representing hyphen" (section 6.3.3), but does not specify details of how or when it is to be displayed, nor other details of its semantics.
		The change in semantics of the Unicode character does not require that implementations of terminal emulators in other environments, such as ISO 8859-1, make any change in their current behavior.

		This character set is a subset of many other character sets with 256 characters, including the ANSI character set of MS Windows, the Roman-8 character set of HP systems, and the IBM PC Extended Character Set of DOS, and the ISO Latin-1 character set used by Web browsers.
		The first 32 values are non-printing control characters, such as Return and Line feed.
		For example, Bell is value 7, Control plus G, often shown in documents as ^G. Notice that 7 is 64 less than the value of G (71); the Control key subtracts 64 from the value of the keys that it modifies.

	Link Control Options
		, is used on asynchronous links, such as telephone lines, to identify control characters that must be escaped (replaced by a specific two-character sequence) to avoid them being interpreted by equipment used to establish the link.
		If a bit is set in the bitmap, it signals that the corresponding character must be escaped before it is transmitted across the link.
		Each character that appears in the async map results in two characters being transmitted across the link, so escaping comes at the cost of increased link utilization and a corresponding performance reduction.

		The ISO and ANSI spec say that the various erase escape sequences put the character position into the erase state, and then say that the representation of the erase state is implementation specific.
		Some that do not are the names given to the vt100 line-drawing characters, e.g., upper_right_corner = "k", vertical_bar = "x", but that's part of the ac (termcap) or acsc (terminfo) string.
		The sequences were something like \001\003, \001\007\, \001\012\, etc.; the first character was (I believe) a CTRL+A followed by some other control character, not introduced by an escape.
