⎕A - Return English Alphabet

Z←⎕A returns the 26-character uppercase English alphabet.
Z is the character vector 'ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ'.

The name is case sensitive, so ⎕A is different from ⎕a which returns 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'. There are also ten other variations on this system function each of returns either the lower- or upper-case accented alphabet such as ⎕á ⎕Á ⎕à ⎕À ⎕â ⎕Â ⎕ä ⎕Ä ⎕ã ⎕Ã. For example:

      ⍪⎕a ⎕á ⎕à ⎕â ⎕ä ⎕ã
 abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz
 ábćdéfǵhíjḱĺḿńóṕqŕśtúvẃxýź
 àbcdèfghìjklmǹòpqrstùvẁxỳz
 âbĉdêfĝĥîĵklmnôpqrstuvwxyz
 äbcdëfgḧïjklmnöpqrsẗüvẅẍÿz
 ãbcdẽfghĩjklmñõpqrstũṽwxỹz
      ⍪⎕A ⎕Á ⎕À ⎕Â ⎕Ä ⎕Ã
 ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
 ÁBĆDÉFǴHÍJḰĹḾŃÓṔQŔŚTÚVẂXÝŹ
 ÀBCDÈFGHÌJKLMǸÒPQRSTÙVẀXỲZ
 ÂBĈDÊFĜĤÎĴKLMNÔPQRŜTÛVŴXŶẐ
 ÄBCDËFGḦÏJKLMNÖPQRSTÜVẄẌŸZ
 ÃBCDẼFGHĨJKLMÑÕPQRSTŨṼWXỸZ

The result of ⎕A may be used as any other string, including referencing individual letters. For example:
      ⎕A[8 5 12 12 15]
HELLO
