This class implements the notion of a punctuation character in the local culture repertoire and encoding! This corresponds to all of the names of characters which are neither letters nor digits in the Latin-1 table 0. Not that this does not mean that the actual characters used have a corresponding glyph - particuarly where a non-Latin script is involved.
The names of the punctuation characters (and the space character), as reader routines, are specified in the following table - all the reader routines return a character except the one following the table.
Space : CHAR | Ampersand : CHAR | Apostrophe : CHAR |
Asterisk : CHAR | At : CHAR | Caret : CHAR |
Colon : CHAR | Comma : CHAR | Dollar : CHAR |
Equal_Mark : CHAR | Exclamation : CHAR | Fullstop : CHAR |
Grave_Accent : CHAR | Hyphen : CHAR | Left_Angle : CHAR |
Left_Brace : CHAR | Left_Bracket : CHAR | Left_Parenthesis : CHAR |
