Atomic vector

⎕AV

Atomic vector (⎕AV) is the name of a 256-character vector which contains 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.

ISO/IEC 13751:2001 standard defined atomic vector as: "An implementation-defined character vector containing every member of the required character set exactly once".[1]

Value

In the following, display of the the character sets are obtained using 16 16⍴mask\(mask←32≤⎕UCS ⎕AV)/⎕AV to replace control characters with spaces.

APL2

APL2 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:

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.

Dyalog APL

⎕AV is obsolete in Dyalog APL since the Unicode Edition was introduced and is only retained for backwards compatibility.[2] It no longer contains all the glyphs used for primitive functions and operators[3], but can be adjusted by setting the Atomic Vector - Unicode (⎕AVU) variable to a list of Unicode code points. The default value is:

          ⌶ɫ%'⍺⍵

GNU APL

GNU APL is fully Unicode-aware, and only includes the atomic vector for completeness:
