HP 5961-0509 manual Symbol Map Array of UI

Symbol Map (Array of UI)

The symbol map contains a list of symbol index numbers. This list identifies symbols for the symbol set. (Refer to Appendix D in the PCL 5 Comparison Guide for a MSL and Unicode symbol indexes.) The symbol map pairs (maps) a character code to a symbol index number. The range of character code numbers (paired with symbol index numbers) is the range from the First Code through the Last Code fields in the header. The first symbol index number in the Symbol Map field is mapped to the character code whose value is that of the First Code field; the second symbol index number is mapped to the “First Code + 1” character code; the third symbol index number is mapped to the “First Code + 2,” etc., through the last symbol index number, which is mapped to the value in the Last Code field. The number of symbol index characters in the array must match the number of character codes in the range, First Code through Last Code.

If no printable symbol (symbol index number) is associated with a given character code (as with codes 128 through 160 of Roman-8), the corresponding entry in the Symbol Map should be 65535 (FFFF Hex).
