Specifying Characters

There are various ways in which you can specify a particular character. For example, the ESC character can be specified using any one of the following five entries:

_027

Decimal value (underscore character followed by a 3-digit number).

\033

Octal value (backslash character followed by a 3-digit number).

\u001B

Unicode value (backslash and u characters then unicode value).

^[

Control key value (^ represents the control key on the keyboard).

\e

Additional value for ESC.

 

 

The following 'backslash' values can be used:

 

 

 

\u

Unicode introducer

\r

Carriage return

 

\n

Line feed

\e

Escape

Note that as the \ and ^ characters are used as value introducers, to enter these as character values you need to precede them with a backslash character, i.e. enter \ as \\ and ^ as \^.

The Euro character can be specified by entering the unicode value \u20ac.
