6、, D 52 and D 53 respectively is allowed as an option. Other International Standards may define which alternative is to be used for particular applications. ) 1) For application to adding and calculating machines, see IS0 1092. 1 IS0 3791-1976 (E) 4.2 Zero/decimal area The zero/decimal area is locate
7、d directly below the three rows of three keys. In accordance with IS0 1092 it may extend to the left and upward as shown in figure 2. 4.3.1 Character “decimal sign I When the character “decimal sign” is required it can be allocated only to a key situated at the right-hand end of the zero/decimal are
8、a as shown in figure 4. This International Standard does not prescribe the graphical representation of the decimal sign, i.e. a comma or a dot (see C.3.2 of IS0 3 1 /O, General introduction to IS0 3 1 - General principles concerning quantities, units and symbols).
