Abstract
ASCII coding is familiar to most of us. Unfortunately, ASCII is the exception—a simple, plain, “white bread” version of the character world. Latin-1 is less commonly used. Other representations of characters depend on the standard selected, which in turn may depend on the locale. As an example, consider the trademark sign. In MS Word and other MS Office applications, Ctrl-Alt-T or Alt8482 will create the trademark sign: ™. In Unicode, it is \u2122 or outside R is U+2122. In HTML Hex, use ™. Once you determine the coding scheme, finding the values is straightforward, since they are well documented on the Internet. To find information on various Unicodes, see the official website of the Unicode Consortium, www.Unicode.org. Another helpful resource is www.utf8-chartable.de/.
