VT320 character coding, conventions, and standards are described in detail in Digital publications.
Character Sets
The NCD Terminal Emulator includes the following character sets:
The default character set configuration in the NCD Terminal Emulator is called the Digital Multinational character set. It is composed of the ASCII character set and the Digital Supplemental Graphic character set. The NCD Terminal Emulator maps the ASCII character set into the left side of the character table (see Table 12-21) as the GL codes. It maps the Digital Supplemental Graphic set into the right half (see Table 12-22) as the GR codes.
The ISO Latin Alphabet 1 supplemental graphic set is composed of the ASCII set and the ISO Latin-1 supplemental set. (See Table 12-23.) It includes many of the accented characters and diacritical marks used in European languages. To use the ISO Latin Alphabet 1 supplemental graphic character set, you select the ISO Latin 1 Font toggle in the Options menu.
The 12 National Replacement Character sets are 7-bit character sets used with European language keyboards. (See Table 12-24.) Each varies slightly from the ASCII character set as required by the European language for which it is used.
