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.
In HTML and XML, a numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set/Unicode code point, and uses the format: &#xhhhh;. or &#nnnn; where the x must be lowercase in XML documents, hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form, and nnnn is the code point in decimal form.
Furthermore, a "character" may require more than one code point (for instance with combining characters), depending on what is meant by the word "character". The fact that a character was historically stored in a single byte led to the two terms ("char" and "character") being used interchangeably in most documentation.
Fortran 90 removed the need for the indentation rule and added inline comments, using the ! character as the comment delimiter. COBOL. In fixed format code, line indentation is significant. Columns 1–6 and columns from 73 onwards are ignored. If a * or / is in column 7, then that line is a comment.
Polyspace is a static code analysis tool for large-scale analysis by abstract interpretation to detect, or prove the absence of, certain run-time errors in source code for the C, C++, and Ada programming languages. The tool also checks source code for adherence to appropriate code standards.
Unicode was designed to provide code-point-by-code-point round-trip format conversion to and from any preexisting character encodings, so that text files in older character sets can be converted to Unicode and then back and get back the same file, without employing context-dependent interpretation.
In MATLAB and GNU Octave the backslash is used for left matrix divide, ... without reference to a coded character set and its code in [that] coded character set". ...
Full character set of IBM's Code page 437 rendered in VGA, which displays the broken bar glyph for codepoint 7C, despite the 1977 revision to ASCII Many keyboards with US, US-International, and German QWERTZ layout display the broken bar on a keycap even though the solid vertical bar character is produced.
