No, I've got it here in front of me. It's X4.23-1982. X4.22 seems to be concerned with typewriters, but X4.23 is more concerned with electronic equipment. They use different keyboards - 4.22 has no key between shift and Z. X4.23 has a standard layout and several alternates. One of the alternates is for ASCII, and looks like this: ~ ! @ # $ % ^ & * ( ) _ + ` 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 - = Q W E R T Y I O U P \ [ q w e r t y i o u p | ] A S D F G H J K L : " { a s d f g h j k l ; ' } SH > Z X C V B N M ' . ? SH FT < z x c v b n m , . / FT Notice the omission of any nonprinting characters, such as tab, return, control. Notice what's where escape belongs.
