| | HTML Document Representation |
 | | The document character set, however, does not suffice to allow user agents to correctly interpret HTML documents as they are typically exchanged -- encoded as a sequence of bytes in a file or during a network transmission. | | | A user agent may not be able to render all characters in a document meaningfully, for instance, because the user agent lacks a suitable font, a character has a value that may not be expressed in the user agent's internal character encoding, etc. | | | Since there are a great number of characters throughout human languages, and a great variety of ways to represent those characters, proper care must be taken so that documents may be understood by user agents around the world. |

| | A tutorial on character code issues |
| | A method (algorithm) for presenting characters in digital form by mapping sequences of code numbers of characters into sequences of octets. | | | Each character code is presented as a sequence of one or more octets in the range 0 - 127 ("bytes with most significant bit set to 0", or "seven-bit bytes", hence the name). | | | Generally by decomposing all decomposable characters one could in many cases simplify the processing of textual data (and the resulting data might be converted back to a format using precomposed characters). |

| | Dan's Web Tips: Characters and Fonts |
| | As a result, if you're using a browser such as Mozilla which actually follows character set standards, you see nothing but an empty square block or a question mark in a diamond (depending on what fonts are installed on your system and how your browser is configured) where those characters were inserted. | | | What character, if any, happens to be at the same code position in one font as the given character is in another, is totally irrelevant. | | | One character, #7, is the "Bell" character in the official ASCII standard, calling for the computer or terminal to beep when it's received; thank goodness Web browser developers didn't implement this, or all the teenage Web page creators who now fill their pages with |

| | Joel on Software - The Absolute Minimum Every Software Developer Absolutely, Positively Must Know About Unicode and ... |
| | But still, most people just pretended that a byte was a character and a character was 8 bits and as long as you never moved a string from one computer to another, or spoke more than one language, it would sort of always work. | | | They were used for control characters, like 7 which made your computer beep and 12 which caused the current page of paper to go flying out of the printer and a new one to be fed in. | | | This was usually solved by the messy system called DBCS, the "double byte character set" in which some letters were stored in one byte and others took two. |

| | Perl, Unicode and i18N FAQ |
| | Unicode characters are not considered to be endian when stored in memory. | | | An example is using a regex with \w to check user input. | | | The encoding can be invisible to user programmers because the string routines operate on character units without regard to the actual bits. |

| | UTF-8 and Unicode FAQ |
| | The size of this array is the code position of the last character minus the code position of the first character plus one. | | | All UCS characters >U+007F are encoded as a sequence of several bytes, each of which has the most significant bit set. | | | A hard-wired technique to count the number of characters in a UTF-8 string is to count all bytes except those in the range 0x80 – 0xBF, because these are just continuation bytes and not characters of their own. |
