Full-width European characters
In the code pages for the East Asian languages, two versions of many of the European
characters (Latin letters, numbers and the characters # $ % & etc.) are included:
• In the normal (narrow, half-width) version.
• In a double-width (full-width) version.
If you are using characters with a functional significance it is important to use the ASCII
versions.
Correct example (SINUMERIK alarm text, Japanese):
The circled characters are:
014195 0 0
Space character
Inverted commas
%1, %2
Only the ASCII versions must be used for these characters.
Note
In the remaining part of the text it is quite acceptable to use full-width characters for better
readability (as in the example here for G49).
Notice
There is even a full-width version of the space character (ideographic space). You can only
recognize this character from its width by selecting it.
Incorrect example:
The circled characters are full-width variants which have been used incorrectly.

This is the set of ASCII characters which is compatible with European code pages.
These versions of the characters are twice as wide and are not compatible with the ASCII
characters.
