VSCII (Vietnamese Standard Code for Information Interchange), also known as TCVN 5712, [2] ISO-IR-180, [3].VN, [4] ABC [4] or simply the TCVN encodings, [4] [5] is a set of three closely related Vietnamese national standard character encodings for using the Vietnamese language with computers, developed by the TCVN Technical Committee on Information Technology (TCVN/TC1) and first adopted in ...
Windows-1258 is a code page used in Microsoft Windows to represent Vietnamese texts. It makes use of combining diacritical marks.. Windows-1258 is compatible with neither the Vietnamese standard (TCVN 5712 / VSCII), nor the various other encodings in use in practice (VISCII, VNI, VPS).
The successful inclusion of composed and precomposed Vietnamese in Unicode 1.0 was the result of the lessons learned from the development of 8-bit VISCII and 7-bit VIQR. [ 2 ] The next year, in 1993, Vietnam adopted TCVN 5712 , its first national standard in the information technology domain. [ 3 ]
For instance, support for all above mentioned 8-bit encodings, with the exception of Windows-1258, was dropped from Mozilla software in 2014. [11] Many Vietnamese fonts intended for desktop publishing are encoded in VNI or TCVN3 . [9] Such fonts are known as "ABC fonts". [12]
The majority of code pages in current use are supersets of ASCII, a 7-bit code representing 128 control codes and printable characters.In the distant past, 8-bit implementations of the ASCII code set the top bit to zero or used it as a parity bit in network data transmissions.
G299.2-2.9 is a supernova remnant in the Milky Way, 16,000 light years from Earth. [2] It is the remains of a Type Ia supernova . [ 3 ] The observed radius of the remnant shell translates to approximately 4,500 years of expansion, [ 4 ] making it one of the oldest observed Type Ia supernova remnants.
This is a list of observed supernova remnants (SNRs) in the Milky Way, as well as galaxies nearby enough to resolve individual nebulae, such as the Large and Small Magellanic Clouds and the Andromeda Galaxy.
N103B (also known as SNR 0509–68.7) is a supernova remnant located in the Large Magellanic Cloud. [1] It is relatively close to Earth, allowing astronomers to observe and study the remnant. It lies a short distance from NGC 1850 .
