T - Single discrete data representing the combinations of 4 basic states (A, B, AB, C, AC, etc)

 
 
 
 
 
Code of field: T
 
Type of field: single discrete data with four possible states that can be combined.
 
Storage: one integer value in the range 0…15, as only 4 bits are used.
 
 
Applicable to:
 
Any data that can be reduced to a simple discrete value such as "presence/absence" or "yes/no".
 
 
Comments:
 
T characters format has been created to handle simple discrete characters having maximum 4 main states (1, 2, 4 and 8, see figure below) and 12 intermediate states (0, 3, 5, 6, 7, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15 - in blue, see figure below).
