#### 9.35.2 Symbolic Operand Modifiers

The RL78 has three modifiers that adjust the relocations used by the linker:

`%lo16()`
  When loading a 20-bit (or wider) address into registers, this modifier selects the 16 least significant bits.

                  movw ax,#%lo16(_sym)

`%hi16()`
  When loading a 20-bit (or wider) address into registers, this modifier selects the 16 most significant bits.

                  movw ax,#%hi16(_sym)

`%hi8()`
  When loading a 20-bit (or wider) address into registers, this modifier selects the 8 bits that would go into CS or ES (i.e. bits 23..16).

                  mov es, #%hi8(_sym)
