==Text data==
Text data is stored in a [[Character encoding in Generation II|proprietary encoding]].
Technically, all characters before 0x60 function as control characters. An asterisk (*) denotes a character that is explained in the control characters section below.
 
===English===
Only a few control characters below 0x50 are actually used in the English games, all of which are ones marked below with an asterisk (for more, see the control characters section further down where they are explained). The sub-0x50 characters that are not marked with an asterisk are artifacts of the Japanese control characters that print other characters with a diacritic.
