There might be additional useful information in the first couple of paras of the original (Japanese) article that Google Translate can't make sense of.

I've got various references to add to this, including http://bitsavers.informatik.uni-stuttgart.de/pdf/burroughs/terminal/1093788_TD_730_TD780_System_Reference_Manual_Nov79.pdf figure C-4 appendix C page 3 (document page C-3, PDF page 96), "C Programmers' Guide to Serial Communications" (Campbell, Sams) figure 1-7 page 16.

Possibly also a screenshot showing a protocol analyzer using these characters for a captured session.

The Japanese article contains no more useful material, as far as I can tell.

The manual was authored after this standard, yet it uses different symbols in places. Possibly justified, because the ISO 2047 symbols are terrible, but it isn't much good as a reference here, I think.

I doubt a screenshot like you describe would be very useful. Apart from a few of these codes which are still in use, the world was already kind of moving on when these were standardised. I don't know if a protocol has ever existed that used all or even most of these codes for their intended purposes. And when they're used differently, it doesn't really help this article considering that these symbols are supposed to reflect the intended purposes, however ineptly. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:A457:9497:1:FD15:A85A:FDE7:21D6 (talk) 18:15, 24 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Added references to similar standards in national standardisation organisations. Added reference to Japanese source page. Removed japaneze symbols from autotranslated page.Andrii Muliar (talk) 09:59, 19 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure why, but it used to say that this was a "withdrawn proposal", in contradiction to the official ISO page. I've since updated it, but I'm not entirely sure if citing ISO is an unacceptable primary source. I don't believe so because it is the equivalent of citing a government page which states that a law is in legal force. Swissnetizen (talk) 11:43, 14 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
