Character Sets

In 7-bit mode the ASCII character set is used, which limits the number of displayable letters to 96 individual characters. Because many languages use more characters than can be displayed in 7-bit mode, some extended characters such as '[' and ']' are remapped to appropriate characters for the language being used. For example, in the UK English mode, the '#' character is replaced with '£'.

ZTERM supports 7-bit National Replacement character sets for the several languages. See the following topic for a listing.

Additionally, ZTERM also supports 8-bit Latin-1, allowing most Western European characters to be displayed and entered at the same time. In order to generate characters that aren't shown on your keyboard, use the Windows standard compose sequence:

For example, to generate the character "Capital E-accute", one would type "ALT-down 0 2 0 1 ALT-up".

To change International settings, click on the "International" tab in the Configuration sheet.
