===OCR-A===

The OCR-A subheading contains six characters taken from the [[OCR-A]] font described in the ISO 1073-1:1976 standard: {{unichar|2440|OCR HOOK}}, {{unichar|2441|OCR CHAIR}}, {{unichar|2442|OCR FORK}}, {{unichar|2443|OCR INVERTED FORK}}, {{unichar|2444|OCR BELT BUCKLE}}, and {{unichar|2445|OCR BOW TIE}}. The OCR bow tie is given the [[Unicode_character_propertyUnicode character property#Name|informative alias]] "unique asterisk".

===MICR===

The MICR subheading contains four characters standardized in the ISO 1004:1995 standard, from the [[magnetic ink character recognition]] E-13B font: {{unichar|2446|OCR BRANCH BANK IDENTIFICATION}}, {{unichar|2447|OCR AMOUNT OF CHECK}}, {{unichar|2448|OCR DASH}}, and {{unichar|2449|OCR CUSTOMER ACCOUNT NUMBER}}. The latter two characters are misnamed but have correct [[Unicode_character_propertyUnicode character property#Name|normative alias]]es: U+2448 ⑈⑈ is {{sc|MICR ON US SYMBOL}}, and U+2449 ⑉⑉ is {{sc|MICR DASH SYMBOL}} (the standard notes that "the Unicode character names include several misnomers"). All four characters have informative aliases: "transit", "amount", "on us", and "dash" respectively.
