colorForth Characters and Binary Representation

The following table shows four values for each of the 48 colorForth character values. Character value zero is not an actual character; instead it denotes the end of a word.

The first two columns are the Shannon coded binary value for the character. The third column shows the graphic for the character, and the fourth column is its internal numerical value when not Shannon coded. ASCII character codes are not used within colorForth; they are only used for communication with external systems.
