The following tables show the spacing and non-spacing diacritic characters that are contained in the ANSEL set. This table was added to give help to those receiving the machine version to the GEDCOM standard. The graphic characters shown are not always accurate, however the name of the diacritic and the decimal equivalent should agree with the ANSEL standard.

C/R column refers to the column and row of the American National Standard Z39.47-1985 showing the ANSEL character graphic and its 8 bit binary representation.

wpcode column shows the Wordperfect (code page, character number) (1,2) chosen as the closest representation of the diacritic as shown in Wordperfect Appendix P. of version (5.1)

Dec column shows to the decimal equivalent for that diacritic as is used in the ANSEL character set.

Name column gives the english name of the diacritic.

example of use column shows an example of words using this diacritic. For the non-spacing diacritic, this mark appears before the character in which it should be superimposed.
