Trigraph sequences
Trigraph sequences are three-character
sequences that are replaced by a corresponding
single character in Translation Phase 1, as follows:
??=
|
#
|
??(
|
[
|
??<
|
{
|
??/
|
\
|
??)
|
]
|
??>
|
}
|
??'
|
^
|
??!
|
|
|
??-
|
~
|
No other such sequences are recognized.
The trigraph sequences provide a way to
specify characters that are missing on some
terminals, but that the C language uses.
