The Unicode Consortium and the ISO/IEC JTC 1/SC 2/WG 2 jointly collaborate on the list of the characters in the Universal Coded Character Set.The Universal Coded Character Set, most commonly called the Universal Character Set (abbr. UCS, official designation: ISO/IEC 10646), is an international standard to map characters, discrete symbols used in natural language, mathematics, music, and other ...
In contrast, a character entity reference refers to a character by the name of an entity which has the desired character as its replacement text. The entity must either be predefined (built into the markup language) or explicitly declared in a Document Type Definition (DTD). The format is the same as for any entity reference: &name;
ISO character set may primarily refer to: ISO/IEC 646, list of 7-bit character sets since 1967; ISO/IEC 8859, list of 8-bit character sets since 1987; ISO/IEC 10646, a 32-bit character set since 1990; It may also refer to: ISO basic Latin alphabet; ISO/IEC 2022; ISO 2033; ISO 2047; ISO 5426; ISO 5427; ISO 5428; ISO 6438
First Japanese electronic character set ECMA-48: 1972 7 bits Terminal text manipulation and colors ISO/IEC 8859: 1987 8 bits International codes ISO/IEC 10646 1991 21 bits usable, packed into 8/16/32-bit code units Unified encoding for most of the world's writing systems. As first introduced in 1991 had 16 bits; extension to 21 bits came later.
In 1990, the first version of Unicode used the code points of ISO-8859-1 as the first 256 Unicode code points. In 1992, the IANA registered the character map ISO_8859-1:1987, more commonly known by its preferred MIME name of ISO-8859-1 (note the extra hyphen over ISO 8859-1), a superset of ISO 8859-1, for use on the Internet.
The ISO/IEC 8859 standard parts only define printable characters, although they explicitly set apart the byte ranges 0x00–1F and 0x7F–9F as "combinations that do not represent graphic characters" (i.e. which are reserved for use as control characters) in accordance with ISO/IEC 4873; they were designed to be used in conjunction with a ...
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 ...
A design is the concept of or proposal for an object, process, or system. The word design refers to something that is or has been intentionally created by a thinking agent, and is sometimes used to refer to the inherent nature of something – its design. The verb to design expresses the process of developing a design. In some cases, the direct ...
