Only the use of characters in the range of 63–95 (" is specifically allowed in the notation, but use of lower-case alphabetic characters entered at the keyboard is nearly always allowed – they are treated as equivalent to upper-case letters.
#RIGHT CARET SYMBOL WINDOWS#
Seven ASCII control characters map outside the upper-case alphabet: 0 ( NUL) is 27 ( ESC) is ^, 30 is ^^, 31 is ^_, and 127 ( DEL) is ^?.Įxamples are " ^M^J" for the Windows CR, LF newline pair, and describing the ANSI escape sequence to clear the screen as " ^[[3J". A useful mnemonic, this has the effect of rendering the control codes 1 through 26 as ^A through ^Z.
#RIGHT CARET SYMBOL CODE#
The character has the ASCII code equal to the control code with the bit representing 0x40 reversed. The notation consists of a caret ( ^) followed by a single character (usually a capital letter). The meaning or interpretation of, or response to the individual control-codes is not prescribed by the caret notation. The notation is often used to describe keyboard shortcuts even though the control character is not actually used (as in "type ^X to cut the text"). Often a control character can be typed on a keyboard by holding down the Ctrl and typing the character shown after the caret. For the control-codes outside of the range 1–26, the notation extends to the adjacent, non-alphabetic ASCII characters. The notation assigns ^A to control-code 1, sequentially through the alphabet to ^Z assigned to control-code 26 (0x1A).

Prior symbols indicating a work's copyright status are seen in Scottish almanacs of the 1670s books included a printed copy of the local coat-of-arms to indicate their authenticity. Ī copyright notice was first required in the U.S. The Copyright Act was amended in 1874 to allow a much shortened notice: "Copyright, 18, by A. B." It was lengthy: "Entered according to act of Congress, in the year, by A. B., in the office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington." In general, this notice had to appear on the copyrighted work itself, but in the case of a "work of the fine arts", such as a painting, it could instead be inscribed "on the face of the substance on which shall be mounted". The copyright symbol © was introduced in the United States in section 18 of the Copyright Act of 1909, and initially applied only to pictorial, graphic and sculptural works. The Copyright Act of 1909 was meant to be a complete rewrite and overhaul of existing copyright law. As originally proposed in the draft of the bill, copyright protection required putting the word "copyright" or a sanctioned abbreviation on the work of art itself. This included paintings, the argument being that the frame was detachable.
