ENDefine Symbol Set 10-5 The following abbreviations are used to define the data type of each 
field in the symbol set header:
Header Size (UI)
 Set the header size to the size of the header data —  the number 
of bytes from Header Size (byte 0) to the last byte just before the 
beginning of the Symbol Map data bytes. This value is 18 or greater. Font Header Field Data Type Notation
(B)   :  Boolean  (0, 1)
(UB)   :  Unsigned Byte  (0 . . 255)
(SB)   :  Signed Byte  (-128  . .  127)
(UI)   :  Unsigned...

Encoded Symbol Set Designator (UI)       
This field must match the ID code in the Symbol Set ID code 
command.
This field contains the symbol set ID code. The symbol set ID code is 
calculated from a symbol set ID selection value using the following 
formula:
Symbol Set ID Code = (# * 32) + (ID - 64)
where # is the decimal number (0 to 1023) and ID is the ASCII 
character code of the letter.
For example:
Assume the ID selection value selected for this symbol set is 17Q,...

ENDefine Symbol Set 10-7
First Code (UI)  
Specifies the first character code in the set.
Last Code (UI)  
The Last Code specifies the last character code in the set.
Together, the First Code through the Last Code identify the range of 
character codes which map to the symbol index numbers (characters) 
in the Symbol Map field.

field in the header of a type 10 or 11...

Symbol Map (Array of UI)   
The symbol map contains a list of symbol index numbers. This list 
identifies symbols for the symbol set. (Refer to Appendix D in the PCL 
5 Comparison Guide for a MSL and Unicode symbol indexes.) The 
symbol map pairs (maps) a character code to a symbol index number. 
The range of character code numbers (paired with symbol index 
numbers) is the range from the First Code through the Last Code 
fields in the header. The first symbol index number in...
