Note that all of the vertical forms are a result of 90˚ clockwise rotation. e line-drawing
elements at Row-Cell 8-11 () and 8-22 () do not require substitution for vertical

code points 253 and 254, respectively.
Dedicated Vertical Characters
ere is another class of vertical characters, specically those for which there is no hori-

their spacing. Table 7-11 lists these vertical characters and demonstrates how some of
them are used together.
