Category:Character sets

Computing portal

Here is a list of articles in the category Character sets of the Computing portal that unifies foundations of mathematics and computations using computers. The category of character sets includes articles on specific character encodings (see the article for a precise definition). It includes those used in computer science (coded character sets (also known as character sets (this term ) or code pages), character encoding forms, character encoding schemes) and those that use non-numeric, pre-digital codes, such as electrical impulses. This category does not include unencoded character repertoires like the Windows Glyph List 4 or any of the articles in List of alphabets. Articles pertaining to character encoding in general, or encoding in general, may be found in the parent categories, Category:Character encoding and Category:Encodings.

Much of this terminology is standardized in Unicode Technical Report #17 and ISO/IEC TR 15285:1998.
