=== Problems ===

Some 7 bit national [[ASCIIISO646]] sets redefine curly brackets to characters that make programs hardly readable on such designed terminals. For example, the YUSCII set used in Yugoslavia redefines '{' as 'š', while '}' is redefined to 'ċ'. To address this problem, [[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. The trigraphs for ‘{’ and ‘}’, respectively, are “'''??<'''” and “'''??>'''”.
