line, 10 characters per inch. In Chapter 5, you'll learn how to print larger
and smaller letters (from 5 to 17 characters per inch).

In Figure 3-4, the characters coded "a" and "c" are "brackets:'
These are sometimes used in the same manner as parentheses.
_
The character coded "b" is a "reverse slash" - the mirror-image
of the "slash" in Figure 3-3. The next character, " * :' is a compute
symbol for depressing the "control key" on your keyboard. It can-
-
also be used for a circumflex or exponentiation.
Completing this
set of characters, the character coded "e" is the "underlining"
for
-
a single character, and "f"
represents the "opening
single
quotation"
mark.
In Figure 35, the "lowercase" equivalents of the "uppercase"
letters in Figure 3-4 are presented. These letters are also 10
.~
characters per inch (CPI) in the Self-Test. Following the lowercase
letters in this figure are four characters coded "a" through "dl' The
first and third are "braces:' which provide an alternative
to
-
parentheses and brackets, especially in grouping mathematical
terms. The symbol coded "b" is a special scientific symbol, to
-
which you may assign meaning according to its use. Finally, the
character marked "d" is the tilde sign or diacritical
mark.
