Code page layout (standard): Homerton goes to the place, not the font, and is useless to link to. It's better to have a redlink here until someone writes an article about it.

==Code page layout (standard)==
Characters at 0x84, and 0x87 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 a [[subscript]] 8 followed by a [[superscript]] 7. 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"/>
