| | Unicode HOWTO |
 | | Unicode code points 0-255 are identical to the Latin-1 values, so converting to this encoding simply requires converting code points to byte values; if a code point larger than 255 is encountered, the string can't be encoded into Latin-1. | | | Unicode character U+FEFF is used as a byte-order mark (BOM), and is often written as the first character of a file in order to assist with autodetection of the file's byte ordering. | | | To summarize the previous section: a Unicode string is a sequence of code points, which are numbers from 0 to 0x10ffff. |

| | Test: Unicode |
| | Unicode (as of version 3.2, early 2002) differentiates between this koppa (epigraphical) and the numerical koppa; this does not affect the TLG data bank, since the Beta Code distinction between the two koppas is no longer observed. | | | Since polytonic Greek is a relatively low priority in the computer industry, and the proper handling of Unicode diacritics is still incipient (requiring sophisticated font engines like OpenType still not widely available), it is safer to use the precomposed characters. | | | Case in numerals is currently distinguished in Aisa (but not for sampi), Alphabetum, Antioch, Aristarcoj, Athena and New Athena Unicode (but not in Athena for Q-like Koppa), Cardo, Code 2000, FreeMono (only for stigma), Galilee Unicode Gk (only for sampi and koppas), Galatia SIL (not for Q-like Koppa), Lucida Grande, TITUS Cyberbit. |

| | One possible way to create a string with Unicode hex values is to create a regular string and then coerce it to a Unicode string (while paying attention to byte order). | | | Unicode is essentially a superset of every Windows ANSI, Windows DBCS and DOS OEM character set. | | | In particular, add code to map data "at the boundary" to and from Unicode using the Win32 functions WideCharToMultiByte and MutliByteToWideChar, or using the C run-time functions mbtowc, mbstowcs, wctomb, and wcstombs. |

| | Poor understanding of Unicode is probably the biggest obstacle users face when trying to learn how to process XML, and Python users are no exception. | | | Again, you need to grab only the first item from the encode function's return value, the second of which is the number of characters that were encoded in the given Unicode object. | | | This is primarily an admonition for XML API designers, but it also applies to users because many API's allow you to pass in strings or Unicode objects interchangeably. |
