    OCR FM is a non-profit community radio station based in Colac, Victoria, Australia. OCR is a volunteer organisation with no employed staff, broadcasting 24 hours a day, seven days a week, with locally produced programming supplemented by locally produced announcements and music.

    History and previous identities

    3OCR was previously known as Otway FM, however with the change-over to a full licence from a previously allocated Temporary Community Broadcasting Licence (TCBL) the organisation's name was changed to reflect its call sign. The name itself OCR represents "Otways Community Radio"

    Colac Community Radio Group Inc. was established in 1991 by Group president Anthony Prytz, after an advertisement in 'The Colac Herald' was placed calling for a public expressions of interest meeting by Prytz to start a new radio station in Colac.

    Approximately 25 people attended that meeting, held at the old Adult Education Center in Murray Street (Now home to an Asian restaurant).

    The stations first (temporary) studios were set up above an architect office in Murray Street (for approximately 2 months at no charge to the group) so members could become familiar with borrowed equipment in readiness for the group's first test broadcast that year. Then the station moved to 168b Murray Street Colac, above a local sports store, for a "peppercorn" rent negotiated with the sports store owner at the time Don Nicholson.

    Optical Character Recognition (Unicode block)

    Optical Character Recognition is a Unicode block containing signal characters for OCR standards.

    Subheadings

    The Optical Character Recognition block has three informal subheadings (groupings) within its character collection: OCR-A, MICR, and OCR.

    OCR-A

    The OCR-A subheading contains six characters taken from the OCR-A font described in the ISO 1073-1:1976 standard: U+2440 OCR HOOK, U+2441 OCR CHAIR, U+2442 OCR FORK, U+2443 OCR INVERTED FORK, U+2444 OCR BELT BUCKLE, and U+2445 OCR BOW TIE. The OCR bow tie is given the informative alias "unique asterisk".

    MICR

    The MICR subheading contains four characters standardized in the ISO 1004:1995 standard, from the magnetic ink character recognition E-13B font: U+2446 OCR BRANCH BANK IDENTIFICATION, U+2447 OCR AMOUNT OF CHECK, U+2448 OCR DASH, and U+2449 OCR CUSTOMER ACCOUNT NUMBER. The latter two characters are misnamed but have correct normative aliases: U+2448  is MICR ON US SYMBOL, and U+2449  is MICR DASH SYMBOL (the standard notes that "the Unicode character names include several misnomers"). All four characters have informative aliases: "transit", "amount", "on us", and "dash" respectively.

    if fleeing dirty shadows off of drawings on the wall
    a funded self of science from disorder and decay
