A numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and a character entity reference refers to a character by a predefined name. A numeric character reference uses the format &#nnnn; or &#xhhhh; where nnnn is the code point in decimal form, and hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form.
Infobox template for character encodings, character sets, code pages et cetera. While the difference between a coded character set and a character encoding is clear in a Unicode context (UTF-8 and UTF-16 are different encodings for the same set), the difference is often blurred immensely by legacy encodings. For example, so-called "WinLatin-1" is a de facto extension of the "Latin-1" (ISO 885
The term DBCS traditionally refers to a character encoding where each graphic character is encoded in two bytes.. In an 8-bit code, such as Big-5 or Shift JIS, a character from the DBCS is represented with a lead (first) byte with the most significant bit set (i.e., being greater than seven bits), and paired up with a single-byte character-set (SBCS).
A code point is a value or position of a character in a coded character set. [10] A code space is the range of numerical values spanned by a coded character set. [10] [12] A code unit is the minimum bit combination that can represent a character in a character encoding (in computer science terms, it is the word size of the character encoding).
Less than 0.04% of all web pages use ISO-8859-2 as of October 2022. [3] [4] Microsoft has assigned code page 28592 a.k.a. Windows-28592 to ISO-8859-2 in Windows. IBM assigned code page 912 to ISO 8859-2, [5] until that code page was extended in 1999. [6] Code page 1111 is similar, but replaces byte B0 ° (degree sign) with U+02DA ˚ (ring above).
[[Category:Character set table templates]] to the <includeonly> section at the bottom of that page. Otherwise, add <noinclude>[[Category:Character set table templates]]</noinclude> to the end of the template code, making sure it starts on the same line as the code's last character.

The category of character sets includes articles on specific character encodings (see the article for a precise definition). It includes those used in computer science (coded character sets (also known as character sets (this term should not be used anymore [according to whom?]) or code pages), character encoding forms, character encoding schemes) and those that use non-numeric, pre-digital ...
