    The document presents the Baudot code, a 5-bit character code invented in 1870. It allowed 32 characters by using five bits. Two combinations were used to select alternate character sets for letters and figures. Two versions of the Baudot code were commonly used, one in America and one in Europe called CCITT Alphabet No. 2, which differed in their figure character sets.

    The "Baudot" Code

    This table presents a programmer's quick reference to the "Baudot" character set.

    IMPORTANT NOTE: The code presented here is with reference to usage in the computer industry. The
    original, true, baudot code differs from that presented below. The following table presents CCITT
    Alphabet No 2 which was developed from Murray's code which was in turn developed from Baudot's
    code. Baudot's code was replaced by Murray's code in 1901. And ITA2 replaced both by the early
    1930's, so virtually all "teletype" equipment made in the U.S. uses ITA2 or the U.S. national version of
    the code.

    The 'baudot' code has been used extensively in telegraph systems. It is a five bit code invented by the
    Frenchman Emile Baudot in 1870. Using five bits allowed 32 different characters. To accomodate all
    the letters of the alphabet and numerals, two of the 32 combinations were used to select alternate
    character sets. The figures column is valid after a figures shift character has been received. It remains
    in effect until a letters shift is received, after which the letters column should be referred to (and vice-
    versa).

    Two 'Baudot codes' are in common useage. The first as used in America. The second, used in Europe,
    is also termed the CCITT Alphabet No. 2. In each, the 'letters' are identical, but the 'figures' differ.

    The five-bit words are bracketed by a start bit (space) and a stop bit (mark). Idling is shown by the
    'marking' state. Words are transmitted LSB first.
