Why is there a “small house” in IBM’s Code Page 437?

There's a small house ( ⌂ ) in the middle of IBM's infamous character set Code Page 437. "Small house"—that's the official IBM name given to the glyph at code position 0x7F, where a control character for "Delete" (DEL) should logically exist. It's cute, but a little strange. I wonder, how did it get there? Why did IBM represent DEL a

本文探討了IBM PC的Code Page 437字元集中,一個代號為0x7F的特殊符號——一個小房子(⌂)的由來。這個本應代表「刪除」鍵的控制字符,卻被IBM設計成一個可愛的圖形,這與當時的技術背景、設計決策以及ASCII藝術的發展息息相關。文章追溯了Code Page 437的誕生,以及IBM為何選擇在控制字符中加入這些“不認真”的字符,並分析了這個小房子在不同遊戲和ASCII藝術中的應用。
+ 沒想到一個小小的字型裡居然藏著這麼有趣的故事!原來早期電腦的設計者們在技術限制下,也會加入一些充滿趣味性的元素。
