DEC VT220 Type ORCS Character
When you load a DEC VT220 type DRCS character, the dot pattern for the
DRCS character, which is represented as Sxbpl, Sxbp2, ... , Sxbpn (n is up to 94),
has the following form.
uel ue2 ... ueB / leI le2 ... leB
A dot pattern is divided into 8-upper and 8-lower columns as shown in
Figure 5-6. Each upper column consists of 6 dots (6 bits) and each lower column
consists of 4 dots (4 bits). You should convert the binary value of each column
into an equivalent graphic character to be used in the DECDLD device control
string. Use the same conversion procedures as you do in the DEC VT220.
