EUC Special Characters

In accord with ISO 2022 and ISO 6937/3, EUC divides the codeset space into graphic and special characters. Graphic characters are those that have a glyph or shape that can be displayed. Special characters include Control characters, unassigned characters, and the Space and Delete characters. Control characters are characters, other than graphic characters, whose occurrence in a particular context initiates, modifies, or stops a control operation.
