ISO 2047

Early symbols assigned to the 32 control characters, space and delete characters. (ISO 2047, MIL-STD-188-100, 1972)

ISO 2047 (Information processing – Graphical representations for the control characters of the 7-bit coded character set) is a standard for graphical representation of the control characters for debugging purposes, such as may be found in the character generator of a computer terminal; it also establishes a two-letter abbreviation of each control character.[1] The graphics and two-letter codes are essentially unchanged from the 1968 European standard ECMA-17[2] and the 1973 American standard ANSI X3.32-1973.[3] It became an ISO standard in 1975.[1] It is also standardized as GB/T 3911-1983 in China, as KS X 1010[4] in Korea (formerly KS C 5713), and was enacted in Japan as "graphical representation of information exchange capabilities for character" JIS X 0209:1976 (former JIS C 6227) (abolished January 20, 2010).

While the ISO/IEC 646 three-letter abbreviations (such as "ESC"), or caret notation (such as "^[") are still in use, the graphical symbols of ISO 2047 are considered outdated and rare.[5]

Notes

  1. ^ In ISO 2047, ✠ is the primary glyph and ⊠ is only a fallback, but ECMA-17 lists only ⊠.
  2. ^ As a best-fit approximation ↖ could be used. Other defensible choices could be ⤺, ↰, ⮢, ⮪, ⮌ or ⮏.
  3. ^ a b On the Teletype Model 33 TAPE and TAPE would control the tape punch, whereas XON and XOFF would control the reader. ENQ was labelled WRU for 'who are you?'[11]
  4. ^ As a best-fit approximation ▨, 🮙 or ␥ could be used.
