What is the name given to those 3 character constructs that represent another character or characters

Apologies for the vagueness; I barely know how to pose this question.

Can anyone tell me the name of that family of 3 character constructs that represent another character or characters?

I think they were used in the old VT100 terminal days.

I know C supports them.

Solution

  • They are called trigraph. There are also two characters code called digraphs.
