"Voltage levels
Diagrammatic oscilloscope trace of voltage levels for an uppercase
ASCII "K" character (0x4b) with 1 start bit, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit

The RS-232 standard defines the voltage levels that correspond to
logical one and logical zero levels. Valid signals are plus or minus 3
to 15 volts. The range near zero volts is not a valid RS-232 level; "

Wikipedia.

I thought it was plus or minus 3-12 volts with the range between -3
and +3 volts undefined.
