Standards/Protocols Discussion

As for the character thing, I have a character set I call the SSBCS for Standard Six Bit Character Set:

xxxx y z

The z bit is the special character control. If it is 0, special characters are off. If it is 1, spec chars are on.

The x bits (for spec chars off) represent letters A-M (13 letters) and . , and ! when the y bit is off. If the y bit is on, it represents N-Z (13 letters), and a space, and parenthesis.

When spec chars are on, and y is off, it represents numbers and 6 accented letters. When y is on, it represents the thing we need most; math characters!

Here's a table for the math characters. You guys can come up with the accented letters.

xxxx | output
0000 | square symbol
0001 | cube symbol
0010 | ^n symbol
0011 | +
0100 | -
0101 | x (not an x but a times sign)
0110 | / (not the boring slash but the dash with a dot over and below it)
0111 | >
1000 | <
1001 | =
1010 | {
1011 | }
1100 | [
1101 | ]
1110 | ^
1111 | ? (question mark because I couldn't fit it anywhere else.

I'll create a simple one if the spec chars are useless

I would just use standard 8 bit ASCII.
