Characters at 0x83, 0x84, 0x87, 0x88, 0x89, 0x8A, and 0x8B are specific to the Acorn RISC OS and therefore, are not in [[Unicode]]. At 0x83 is a box with another box inside it on the top left-hand corner, meaning "resize window". At 0x84 is a A 'bubble-writing' X, meaning "close window". At 0x87 is a very strange character that is an [[7-segment]]-styled 8 with an [[7-segment]]-styled 7 to the top right of it. At 0x88, 0x89, 0x8A, and 0x8B are left, right, up, and down bubble arrows for window scrollbars. The [[Homerton]] font does not have these characters. [[The Electronic Font Foundry|EFF]], a third-party supplier of RISC OS outline fonts, has a different, but similar character set.<ref name="Avis_2001_RISCOS"/>
