Appendix C 6-Bit ASCII Format
In TransCore’s 6-bit ASCII format, each ASCII data character is represented by a certain 6-bit pattern.
These bit patterns are placed in specific groups of six consecutive bits within the tag. The ASCII characters
and their corresponding 6-bit codes are listed in Table 10. TransCore’s 6-bit ASCII codes are produced by
subtracting 00100000 from the character’s 8-bit ASCII value.
