Figure 6-l shows what this program will print. If your chart doesn’t look like this because it has regular letters and numbers instead of the special symbols, then your computer is only using seven bits (unless you have set Standard mode by mistake). You can get the correct printout by changing line 110 to this:

110LPRINT I;CHR$(27);">";CHR$(I);CHR$(27);"="; CHRS(9);

So how are all of these characters used? Here is a program that demonstrate how the graphics characters can be combined to create a figure: the 5 of clubs.
