SAIL CHARACTER SET

The SAILDART text conversion into HTML for web site display
completely omits NUL, VT, RETURN, STANFORD_ALT and RUBOUT characters;
at the SAIL seven-bit octal code points \000, \013, \015, \0175 and \0177.
The seven-bit whitespace codes for horizontal tab, newline, formfeed and space
at code points \011, \012, \014 and \040 have exactly the same numeric value in eight bit UTF8.
The code points \074, \076 and \046 are translated into HTML character entity strings <, > and &.

Further details are available documenting the hardware used in the 1970s to print these characters on paper (LPT, XGP, Calcomp), to display them on terminals (III, DD, IMLAC), and to input the codes with special Stanford keyboards and a custom built keyboard scanner.
