Graphic board

Representation of the characters as graphics. Dotted fields are formatting characters. Light gray lines and areas are used for clarification and do not belong to the sign.

Remarks

1. ↑ In fact, the “blank space” is not a space, but an invisible character for the line break ( Unicode Technical Note # 27 ). Since Unicode identifiers that were once standardized are no longer subsequently changed by the Unicode consortium for reasons of stability, the incorrectly selected identifier was retained.
2. ↑ Designation according to DIN 2137 : 2012-06
