This charset is available in recode
under the name cdcnos
.
This is one of the charset in use on CDC Cyber NOS systems to represent ASCII, sometimes named NOS 6/12 code for coding ASCII. This code is also known as caret ASCII. It is based on a six bits character set in which small letters and control characters are coded using a ^ escape and, sometimes, a @ escape.
The routines given here presume that the six bits code is already expressed in ASCII by the communication channel, with embedded ASCII ^ and @ escapes.
Here is a table showing which characters are being used to encode each ASCII character.
