Trigraph sequences
Trigraph sequences are three-character
sequences that are replaced by a corresponding
single character in Translation Phase 1, as follows:
| 
??=
 | 
#
 | 
??(
 | 
[
 | 
??<
 | 
{
 | 
| 
??/
 | 
\
 | 
??)
 | 
]
 | 
??>
 | 
}
 | 
| 
??'
 | 
^
 | 
??!
 | 
|
 | 
??-
 | 
~
 | 
No other such sequences are recognized.
The trigraph sequences provide a way to
specify characters that are missing on some
terminals, but that the C language uses.
