  2. Variable-width encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-width_encoding

    A text processing application that deals with the variable-width encoding must then scan the text from the beginning of all definitive sequences in order to identify the various units and interpret the text correctly. In such encodings, one is liable to encounter false positives when searching for a string in the middle of the text.

  3. Wikipedia:Lua string functions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Lua_string_functions

    The string-search functions in Lua script can run extremely fast, comparing millions of characters per second. For example, a search of a 40,000-character article text, for 99 separate words (passed as 99 parameters in a template), ran within one second of Lua CPU clock time.

  4. Comparison of programming languages (string functions)

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_programming...

    String functions are used in computer programming languages to manipulate a string or query information about a string (some do both).. Most programming languages that have a string datatype will have some string functions although there may be other low-level ways within each language to handle strings directly.

  5. Whitespace character - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Whitespace_character

    Width of various Unicode space characters. A space character typically inserts horizontal space that is about as wide as a letter. For a monospaced font the width is the width of a letter, and for a variable-width font the width is font-specific. Some fonts support multiple space characters that have different widths.

  6. String (computer science) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/String_(computer_science)

    The length of a string can also be stored explicitly, for example by prefixing the string with the length as a byte value. This convention is used in many Pascal dialects; as a consequence, some people call such a string a Pascal string or P-string. Storing the string length as byte limits the maximum string length to 255.

  7. Byte order mark - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark

    The byte-order mark (BOM) is a particular usage of the special Unicode character code, U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE, whose appearance as a magic number at the start of a text stream can signal several things to a program reading the text: [1] the byte order, or endianness, of the text stream in the cases of 16-bit and 32-bit encodings;

  8. Zero-width space - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero-width_space

    The zero-width space can be used to mark word breaks in languages without visible space between words, such as Thai, Myanmar, Khmer, and Japanese. [1] In justified text, the rendering engine may add inter-character spacing, also known as letter spacing, between letters separated by a zero-width space, unlike around fixed-width spaces. [1]

  9. Monospaced font - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monospaced_font

    Comparison between variable-width fonts and monospaced fonts. A monospaced font, also called a fixed-pitch, fixed-width, or non-proportional font, is a font whose letters and characters each occupy the same amount of horizontal space. [1] [a] This contrasts with variable-width fonts, where the letters and spacings have different widths.
