Hindi digits
An alternate representation of numbers used in some Arabic countries.

HPS
HP proprietary implementations of several one-byte character sets. These
codes are suitable for ISO 2022 encoding.
HP15
The HP encoding scheme for multi-byte coded character sets.
It
is used
as file code. This encoding scheme is state independent. All code sets
which adhere to the HP15 definition use a set of bytes with the high bit Glossary
set to differentiate between 8 and 16 bit data. If the high order bit is zero,
then the byte represents a one-byte ASCII character. Otherwise, it may
represent the first byte of a two-byte character or a one-byte non-ASCII
character; this information is provided in system tables.
HP16
The HP encoding scheme for multi-byte code sets used for communicating
8 and 16-bit data between a peripheral and a computer.
It
is derived from
the IS
0
2022 character processing standard. This encoding scheme is state
dependent.
It
uses escape sequences to differentiate between single- and
multi-byte characters.
ideogram or ideograph
A pictographic symbol used to represent whole words or syllables.
internal code
Equivalent to file code.
