A vector symbol is a character or shape made up of a series of lines and curves. It is constructed using vectors. A vector is simply a straight line between two specified points. A curve is defined by two or more vectors; how this is done is explained later in this book.

Vector symbols are held in collections known as vector symbol sets, each of which can contain up to 256 symbols. Each set has a name, and each symbol is identified by a character code. The character code is the means of addressing the symbol in the symbol set.
