In bit serial transmission, the LSB is usually transmitted first, while the
MSB is usually transmitted last.
In addition to 256 data characters, the 8b/10b code defines twelve out-of-
band indicators, also called special control characters. The 256 data
characters are named Dx.y, and the special control characters are named
Kx.y. The x value corresponds to the five-bit group, and the y value to the
three-bit group.
The special control characters indicate, for example, whether the data is
idle, test data, or data delimiters. In applications where encoded
characters are transmitted bit-serially, the comma character (K28.5) is
usually used for alignment purposes as its 10-bit code is guaranteed not to
occur elsewhere in the encoded bit stream, except after K28.7 which is
normally only sent during diagnostic.
