... A GB (GB1 and GB2) code is a two byte code, where the first byte is in the range $21-$77 (hexadecimal), and the second byte is in the range $21-$7E. A graphical ASCII character is a byte in the range $21-$7E. A non-graphical ASCII character is a byte in the range $0-$20 or of the value $7F. Since the range of a graphical ASCII character overlaps that of a GB byte, a byte in the range $21-$7E is interpreted according to the mode it is in. ... This code switches the mode from GB back to ASCII. ...
