Atomic vector
⎕AV
|
Atomic vector (⎕AV
) is the name of a 256-character vector which containes the entire character set of older APL implementations that did not support Unicode, but instead used a single byte to store each character. Its value varies wildly between dialects, and can even differ between editions of the same dialect.
Value
APL2
APL uses two primary values of ⎕AV
, an ASCII-based value on personal computers, and an EBCDIC-based value on mainframes. The ASCII-based value is:
7 32⍴32↓⎕AV !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=>? @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_ `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~? ÇüéâäàåçêëèïîìÄÅ⎕⍞⌹ôöòûù⊤ÖÜø£⊥₧⌶ áíóúñѪº¿⌈¬½∪¡⍕⍎░▒▓│┤⍟∆∇→╣║╗╝←⌊┐ └┴┬├─┼↑↓╚╔╩╦╠═╬≡⍸⍷∵⌷⍂⌻⊢⊣⋄┘┌█▄¦Ì▀ ⍺ß⊂⊃⍝⍲⍴⍱⌽⊖○∨⍳⍉∊∩⌿⍀≥≤≠×÷⍙∘⍵⍫⍋⍒¯¨
APLX
In order to maximise the probability of being able to represent the text when converting from Unicode to internal representation, APLX accepts as input a number of alternative Unicode values for certain characters. However, these are automatically mapped to normalised character, and any unmappable characters are replaced with a question mark.
The atomic vector can be displayed with 16 16⍴mask\(mask←32≤⎕UCS ⎕AV)/⎕AV
:

Dyalog APL
⎕AV
is obsolete in Dyalog APL since the Unicode Edition was introduced and is only retained for backwards compatibility.[1] It no longer contains all the glyphs used for primitive functions and operators[2], but can be adjusted by setting the Atomic Vector - Unicode (⎕AVU
) variable to a list of Unicode code points. The default value is:
