6.1.1 General notes p. 14
Except where otherwise indicated, the following shall apply to all character sets:
- The characters marked "1)" are not used but are displayed as a space.
- The characters of this set, when displayed, should approximate to the appearance of the relevant characters specified in ISO 1073 [16] and the relevant national standards.
- Control characters:
| Code | Meaning |
|---|---|
| LF | Line feed: Any characters following LF which are to be displayed shall be presented as the next line of the message, commencing with the first character position. |
| CR | Carriage return: Any characters following CR which are to be displayed shall be presented as the current line of the message, commencing with the first character position. |
| SP | Space character. |
- The display of characters within a message is achieved by taking each character in turn and placing it in the next available space from left to right and top to bottom.

If a character number α is noted in the following way:
b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 αa αb αc αd αe αf αgThe packing of the 7-bit characters in octets is done by completing the octets with zeros on the left. For examples, packing: α

6.1.2.2.1 Packing of 7-bit characters p. 15
If a character number α is noted in the following way:
b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 αa αb αc αd αe αf αgthe packing of the 7-bit characters in octets is done as follows:
bit number
7 6 5 4 3 2 1 0
octet number
1 2g 1a 1b 1c 1d 1e 1f 1g
2 3f 3g 2a 2b 2c 2d 2e 2f
3 4e 4f 4g 3a 3b 3c 3d 3e
4 5d 5e 5f 5g 4a 4b 4c 4d
5 6c 6d 6e 6f 6g 5a 5b 5c
6 7b 7c 7d 7e 7f 7g 6a 6b
7 8a 8b 8c 8d 8e 8f 8g 7a

81 93d 93e 93f 93g 92a 92b 92c 92d
82 0 0 0 0 0 93a 93b 93c
The bit number zero is always transmitted first.
Therefore, in 82 octets, it is possible to pack (82x8)/7 = 93.7, that is 93 characters. The 5 remaining bits are set to zero as stated above.
