Error
A common method of indicating an error.

Representing Letters on a Seven-Segment Display, while highly discouraged, have been done mostly in low-end products such as cheap portable media players and many hobby projects. In such places, 7-segment displays were extended to support letters. Those representations varies from implementation to implementation and are not standardized by any standards organization.

Note that some letters such as K (K), M (M), V (V), W (W), X (X), and Z (Z) are completely unrecognizable by most people and as such been left out of the table below.

Lookup table

One can decode letters to pins via a simple lookup table.
