HL7 Delimiter Characters

As you have seen in the previous sections, certain special characters separate one composite in a segment from another, or separate one sub-composite from another. These special characters are known as delimiter characters.

This section describes delimiter characters in more detail, how to use escape characters to include a delimiter character as part of a composite, and how to define new delimiter characters.
