Description:- To display Hindi characters , Custom characters ,Smileys and other symbols on 16*2 alphanumeric lcd and also with the help of keypad. There are 8 symbol locations in LCDs controller where a custom character can be stored. These locations can have a particular bitmap layout which would correspond to a custom made character. In this case these bitmap layouts are set according to Hindi alphabets. To display location 96 (ASCII code 4). , the bitmap values are mapped to first base address

This is achieved by first sending the address location (96) to LCD command register. Next, the bitmap values (0, 10, 21, 17, 10, 4, 0, 0) are sent to the LCD data register. Now the gets stored at this address. Similarly other alphabets can also be stored at different (up to 8) addresses. Now whenever an alphabet is to be displayed, its location should be sent as a command instruction to LCD.
