The ESC (escape) character followed by the @ character turns inverse video on
or off and can be embedded in the message string. Example: “abcESC@de-
fESC@ghi” specifies the string “abcdefghi” where the “def” portion is displayed
in inverse video.
Example: “abcESC#defESC)ESC@ghi” specifies the string “abcdefghi” where
the “def” portion appears in the channel 3 color (magenta) and the “ghi” portion
appears in the normal text color except it’s in inverse video.
An alternate way to enter characters is octal escape sequences. This consists of a
backslash followed by numerals in the standard C language printf fashion.
Another way to enter characters is \xnn where the nn is the hexadecimal value of
the character to display.
An advantage of these methods is that any controller program can be used.
Another advantage is it’s easy to access characters with the high bit set, that is,
those characters with a decimal value greater than 127.
