v t e

Stanford/ITS character set is an extended ASCII character set based on SEASCII with modifications allowing compatibility with 1968 ASCII.^[2]

Usage

It is used as an alternate character set of the SUPDUP protocol for terminals with %TOSAI and %TOFCI bits set.^[2] It is also recommended for TeX implementations on systems with large character sets.^[1] The default plain TeX macro package sets values B₁₆ (↑) and 1₁₆ (↓) as alternative character codes for superscripts and subscripts, respectively (the default being ^ and _).^[3]

The Knight keyboard is an example of a keyboard capable of inputting all of the defined characters excluding ⋅γδ±⊕◊∫, as they are mapped to ASCII commands NUL, HT, LF, FF, CR, ESC and DEL, respectively.

Coverage

Each character is encoded as a single seven-bit code value. It contains all 95 printable ASCII characters along with 27 mathematical symbols and 6 Greek letters.
