United States English Keyboard Translate Table

The AIX Version 4 NLS subsystem supports two Code Sets for United States English. These Code Sets are the PC Code Set IBM-850 and the Code Set ISO8859-1, which is the industry standard. The two columns in the translate tables identify both the IBM-850 and ISO8859-1 code points for the key positions. The code points are the same for the ASCII characters since ASCII is a subset of the IBM-850 and ISO8859-1 Code Sets.

The following sections of the United States English keyboard translate table contain the keyboard information for the United States English keyboard. The keyboard table:

• Specifies the key assignments to be used on the keyboards.
• Gives the character sequences that are to be produced.

To find out the position number of one or more of the keyboard keys, see "Key Position Codes and Scan Codes for Keyboards" .
