 !	If a ! character appears in the mask, optional characters are represented
        in the EditText as leading blanks. If a ! character is not present, optional
        characters are represented in the EditText as trailing blanks.
 >	If a > character appears in the mask, all characters that follow are in
        uppercase until the end of the mask or until a < character is encountered.
 <      If a < character appears in the mask, all characters that follow are in
        lowercase until the end of the mask or until a > character is encountered.

        done and the data is formatted with the case the user uses to enter the data.

        character to use any of the mask special characters as a literal in the data.

        system, that character is used instead.

 ;	The ; character is used to separate the three fields of the mask.
 _	The _ character automatically inserts spaces into the text. When the
        user enters characters in the field, the cursor skips the _ character.
