Using non-ASCII characters in login scripts

If you know how to write custom scripts with non-ASCII characters, you can incorporate the caret (^char) character, carriage returns and line feeds, and literal characters in your custom login scripts.

Caret (^ char)

Use the caret (^ char) character to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^char, and the ASCII value of char is between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31.

For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If char is a value between a and z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing. Thus, the string “Joe^M” transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.

Carriage return and line feed

You can include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the login script, when entered in the following format:

<cr>	Sends or receives a carriage return
<lf>	Sends or receives a line feed
