op.char
Outputs character string without translation.
Syntax
.char {delimiter} character{s} {delimiter}
Description
sends a raw string of characters to the printer or terminal without translation.
The default delimiter is the space character.
A forced delimiter occurs at the end of the attribute.
Since neither a carriage return nor a line feed is printed, this command may be included in a sentence as a separate attribute without breaking the paragraph.
To specify unprintable characters, enter a value mark (<ctrl>+v) followed by the decimal representation.
For example, to specify the control sequence '<escape>p', where the decimal representation of <escape> is 27, the sequence is '<ctrl>+v 27<escape>p'.
Note: Value marks are not displayed by the Update processor. They can be seen by using the 'list-item' (TCL) command, where they are displayed as a right bracket (']').
Example
.char /]27(s1010p0s3T/
