Line 199:

Some 7-bit national character sets [[ISO/IEC 646]] do not have curly bracket characters. To address this problem, BCPL has digraphs '''$(''' and '''$)''' for '''{''' and '''}''' and [[ANSI C]] introduced ''[[C trigraph|trigraph]]s'' that can be used instead of such problematic characters. All trigraphs consist of two [[question mark]]s followed by a character that is not redefined in the national 7 bit ASCII character sets. In C, the trigraphs for '''{''' and '''}''', respectively, are '''??<''' and '''??>'''.
