Figure 17·2. User·defined E.
To be consistent with the ROM characters, we use only 7 rows. The
character would normally go in the top 8 rows, but we shift all the
dots down one row so that 7-bit machines can stay with the program.

overlapping dots. Figure 17-3 illustrates an E which is incorrectly de-
signed because it uses overlapping dots:
