Character Set Designation
The graphic characters of of ISO 8859-7 constitute a single coded char‐
acter set. However, when this character set is implemented together
with other coding standards, such as ISO 2022 or ISO 4873, the code ta‐
ble of this part of ISO 8859-7 is considered to be the following compo‐
nents: The character SPACE, represented by the bit combination 20(hex)
A 94-character G0 graphic character set, represented by the bit combi‐
nations 21 to 7E(hex) A 96-character G1 graphic character set, repre‐
sented by the bit combinations A0 to FF(hex)
For information on the G0 and G1 character set designations, refer to
iso2022(5).
When required by other coding standards, for example ISO 2022 or ISO
4873, the following pair of escape sequences are used to designate the
G0 and the G1 sets, respectively:
ESC 28 42 or ESC ( B ESC 2D 41 or ESC - F
According to ISO 2022, the character SPACE does not require designa‐
tion.
