I would like to do something simple with a ^, |, or to translate sign-overstruck
characters to their corresponding numeric values
and vice versa. For example, the sign-overstruck characters equals the following
numbers:
{ = -0
A = -1
B = -2
C = -3
D = -4
E = -5
F = -6
G = -7
H = -8
I = -9

Guessing that "sign overstruck numbers" means that the sign of a string
of digits is embedded into the first digit, rather than consuming
an "extra" character position in fixed width fields, then there wouldn't
be a string of them, but a string might have one of them in the
first position.
