RISC OS character set: Difference between revisions

m Disambiguating links to Pi (disambiguation)
Code page layout (standard): -var is better than -box, because there's no question about which box the border belongs to. It becomes impossible when a character is surrounded by -box characters on all 4 sides.
Line 4:
At 0x83 is a box with another box inside it on the top left-hand corner, meaning "resize window".<ref name="Avis_2001_RISCOS"/> At 0x84 is a 'bubble-writing' X, meaning "close window".<ref name="Avis_2001_RISCOS"/> At 0x87 is a very strange character that is a [[subscript]] 8 followed by a [[superscript]] 7.<ref name="Avis_2001_RISCOS"/> It is not proposed for [[Unicode]].<ref>{{Citation|title=L2/19-025: Proposal to add characters from legacy computers and teletext to the UCS|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2019/19025-terminals-prop.pdf|section=7. Characters not proposed|date=2019-01-04}}</ref> At 0x88, 0x89, 0x8A, and 0x8B are left, right, up, and down bubble arrows for window scrollbars.<ref name="Avis_2001_RISCOS"/> 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.
 
The following table shows the RISC OS character set. Each character is shown with a potential [[Unicode]] equivalent if available. Space and control characters are represented by the abbreviations for their names. Differences from [[ISO-8859-1]] are shown with darker shading on top of their legend colours.
