2
ASCII ASCII control characters 1 Except for the control characters that prescribe elementary line-oriented formatting, ASCII does not define any mechanism for describing the structure or appearance of text within a document https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
3
ASCII ASCII control characters 1 The original ASCII standard used only short descriptive phrases for each control character. The ambiguity this caused was sometimes intentional, for example where a character would be used slightly differently on a terminal link than on a data stream, and sometimes accidental, for example with the meaning of "delete". https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
4
ASCII ASCII control characters 1 The "escape" character (ESC, code 27), for example, was intended originally to allow sending other control characters as literals instead of invoking their meaning https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
5
ASCII ASCII control characters 1 The inherent ambiguity of many control characters, combined with their historical usage, created problems when transferring "plain text" files between systems https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
6
ATASCII Control characters 1 In ATASCII most of the ASCII control character values produce a graphics glyph instead https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
7
ATASCII Control characters 1 The ATASCII control characters used by the screen editor for cursor control (arrow keys) and text editing (tab, insert, delete, backspace, etc.) have associated graphic symbols that can be displayed by preceding them by the "escape" character (ATASCII 27). For example, a right arrow can be displayed on a screen or printer by preceding it with the escape character followed by the "cursor right" character itself (ATASCII 31). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
8
Control character 1 Unicode makes a distinction between Control characters (C0 and C1 control codes) versus Formatting characters (such as the Zero-width non-joiner). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
9
Control character - History 1 Procedural signs in Morse code are a form of control character. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
10
Control character - History 1 A form of control characters were introduced in the 1870 Baudot code: NUL and DEL. The 1901 Murray code added the carriage return (CR) and line feed (LF), and other versions of the Baudot code included other control characters. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
11
Control character - In ASCII 1 The control characters in ASCII still in common use include: https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
12
Control character - In ASCII 1 Occasionally one might encounter modern uses of other codes, such as code 4 (End of transmission), used to end a Unix shell session or PostScript printer transmission. For the full list of control characters, see ASCII. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
13
Control character - In ASCII 1 Even though many control characters are rarely used, the concept of sending device- control information intermixed with printable characters is so useful that device makers found a way to send hundreds of device instructions. Specifically, they used ASCII code 27 (escape), followed by a series of characters called a "control sequence" or "escape sequence". The mechanism was invented by Bob Bemer, the father of ASCII. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
14
Control character - In Unicode 1 In Unicode, "Control-characters" are those defined in C0 and C1 control codes. Their General Category is "Cc". Formatting codes are distinct, in General Category "Cf". The Cc control characters have no Name in Unicode. They may be indicated informally as " ". https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
15
Control character - How control characters map to keyboards 1 Other systems translate these keys into control characters when the control key is held down https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
16
Control character - How control characters map to keyboards 1 Control characters are often rendered into a printable form known as caret notation by printing a caret (^) and then the ASCII character that has a value of the control character plus 64. Control characters generated using letter keys are thus displayed with the upper-case form of the letter. For example, ^G represents code 7, which is generated by pressing the G key when the control key is held down. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
17
Control character - How control characters map to keyboards 1 Keyboards also typically have a few single keys which produce control character codes. For example, the key labelled "Backspace" typically produces code 8, "Tab" code 9, "Enter" or "Return" code 13 (though some keyboards might produce code 10 for "Enter"). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
18
Control character - How control characters map to keyboards 1 The associated keypresses are communicated to computer programs by one of four methods: appropriating otherwise unused control characters; using some encoding other than ASCII; using multi-character control sequences; or using an additional mechanism outside of generating characters https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
19
Control character - The design purpose 1 The control characters were designed to fall into a few groups: printing and display control, data structuring, transmission control, and miscellaneous. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
20
Control character - Printing and display control 1 Later, control characters were integrated into the stream of data to be printed https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
21
Control character - Printing and display control 1 The concept of a control character had always been somewhat limiting, and was extremely so when used with new, much more flexible, hardware https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
22
Control character - Data structuring 1 The separator control characters are not overloaded; there is no general use of them except to separate data into structured groupings https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
23
Control character - Transmission control 1 The transmission control characters were intended to structure a data stream, and to manage re-transmission or graceful failure, as needed, in the face of transmission errors. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
24
Control character - Transmission control 1 The escape character (ESC) was intended to "quote" the next character, if it was another control character it would print it instead of performing the control function. It is almost never used for this purpose today. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
25
Control character - Transmission control 1 The data link escape character (DLE) was intended to be a signal to the other end of a data link that the following character is a control character such as STX or ETX. For example a packet may be structured in the following way (DLE) (DLE). https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
26
Control character - Miscellaneous codes 1 Many of the ASCII control characters were designed for devices of the time that are not often seen today https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
27
Control character - Miscellaneous codes 1 Many file systems do not allow control characters in the filenames, as they may have reserved functions. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
28
Escape sequence - Control characters 1 A control character is a character that, in isolation, has some control function, such as carriage return (CR). Escape sequences, by contrast, consist of an escape character or sequence which changes the interpretation of following characters. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
29
Escape sequence - Control characters 1 In this case, the control character is replaced by a defined "escape character" (which need not be the US-ASCII Escape Character) and another character; after exiting the context where the control character would have caused an action, the sequence is recognized and replaced by the removed character https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
30
Escape character - Control character 1 Conversely most (but not all) of the ASCII control characters have some control function in isolation, therefore are not escape characters. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
31
Escape character - Control character 1 In many programming languages, an escape character also forms some escape sequences which are referred to control characters. For example, Line break (computing)|line break has an escape sequence of. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
32
Teleprinter - Control characters 1 In modern computing and communications a few control characters, such as carriage return and line feed, have retained their original functions (although they are often implemented in software rather than activating electromechanical mechanisms to move a physical printer carriage) but many others are no longer required and are used for other purposes. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
33
IBM 3270 - Write Control Character 1 The data sent by Write or Erase/Write consists of the command code itself followed by a Write Control Character (WCC) optionally followed by a buffer containing orders and/or data. The WCC controls the operation of the device. Bits may start printer operation and specify a print format. Other bit settings will sound the audible alarm if installed, unlock the keyboard to allow operator entry, or reset all the Modified Data Tags in the device buffer. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html

35
Code page 367 - ASCII control characters 1 The 33 ASR also could be configured to employ Control-R (DC2) and Control-T (DC4) to start and stop the tape punch; on some units equipped with this function, the corresponding control character lettering on the keycap above the letter was TAPE and TAPE respectively. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html

Control characters - In Unicode 1 In Unicode, Control-characters are U+0000mdash;U+001F (C0 controls), U+007F (delete), and U+0080mdash;U+009F (C1 controls). Their Unicode Character Properties#General Category|General Category is Cc. Formatting codes are distinct, in General Category Cf. The Cc control characters have no Name in Unicode. They may be indicated informally as.[General Category Unicode 5.2, Chapter 4] https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
43
Control characters - Printing and display control 1 Printing control characters were first used to control the physical mechanism of printers, the earliest output device. An early implementation of this idea was the Out-of-band data|out-of-band ASA carriage control characters. Later, control characters were integrated into the stream of data to be printed. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
44
Control characters - Data structuring 1 While many systems use CR/LF and TAB for structuring data, it is possible to encounter the separator control characters in data that needs to be structured. The separator control characters are not overloaded; there is no general use of them except to separate data into structured groupings. Their numeric values are contiguous with the space character, which can be considered a member of the group, as a word separator. https://store.theartofservice.com/the-control-character-toolkit.html
