2.2.2 Standard Characters

ECL supports all standard and semi-standard characters listed in Section 2.2.1 of [see Steele:84]. Non-printing characters have the following character codes.

Character Code (in octal)
#\Null 000
#\Space 040
#\Newline 012
#\Backspace 010
#\Tab 011
#\Linefeed 012
#\Page 014
#\Return 015
#\Rubout 177

Note that #\Linefeed is synonymous with #\Newline and thus is a member of standard-char. Other semi-standard characters are not members of standard-char.
