Area

Area is the measure of a region's size on a surface.

See Graphic character and Area

ASCII

ASCII, an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. Graphic character and ASCII are character encoding.

See Graphic character and ASCII

BASIC

BASIC (Beginners' All-purpose Symbolic Instruction Code) is a family of general-purpose, high-level programming languages designed for ease of use.

See Graphic character and BASIC

Character encoding

Character encoding is the process of assigning numbers to graphical characters, especially the written characters of human language, allowing them to be stored, transmitted, and transformed using digital computers.

See Graphic character and Character encoding

CJK characters

In internationalization, CJK characters is a collective term for graphemes used in the Chinese, Japanese, and Korean writing systems, which each include Chinese characters.

See Graphic character and CJK characters

Code

In communications and information processing, code is a system of rules to convert information—such as a letter, word, sound, image, or gesture—into another form, sometimes shortened or secret, for communication through a communication channel or storage in a storage medium.

See Graphic character and Code

Code page

In computing, a code page is a character encoding and as such it is a specific association of a set of printable characters and control characters with unique numbers. Graphic character and code page are character encoding.

See Graphic character and Code page

Code page 437

Code page 437 (CCSID 437) is the character set of the original IBM PC (personal computer).

See Graphic character and Code page 437

Combining character

In digital typography, combining characters are characters that are intended to modify other characters.

See Graphic character and Combining character

Delete character

The delete control character (also called DEL or rubout) is the last character in the ASCII repertoire, with the code 127.

See Graphic character and Delete character

Diacritic

A diacritic (also diacritical mark, diacritical point, diacritical sign, or accent) is a glyph added to a letter or to a basic glyph.

See Graphic character and Diacritic

Font rasterization

Font rasterization is the process of converting text from a vector description (as found in scalable fonts such as TrueType fonts) to a raster or bitmap description.

See Graphic character and Font rasterization

Glyph

A glyph is any kind of purposeful mark.

See Graphic character and Glyph

ISO/IEC 646

ISO/IEC 646 is a set of ISO/IEC standards, described as Information technology — ISO 7-bit coded character set for information interchange and developed in cooperation with ASCII at least since 1964.

See Graphic character and ISO/IEC 646

ISO/IEC 8859

ISO/IEC 8859 is a joint ISO and IEC series of standards for 8-bit character encodings.

See Graphic character and ISO/IEC 8859

Line printer

A line printer prints one entire line of text before advancing to another line.

See Graphic character and Line printer

Overstrike

In typography, overstrike is a method of printing characters that are missing from the printer's character set.

See Graphic character and Overstrike

PEEK and POKE

In computing, PEEK and POKE are commands used in some high-level programming languages for accessing the contents of a specific memory cell referenced by its memory address.

See Graphic character and PEEK and POKE

Sign (mathematics)

In mathematics, the sign of a real number is its property of being either positive, negative, or 0.

See Graphic character and Sign (mathematics)

Spacing Modifier Letters

Spacing Modifier Letters is a Unicode block containing characters for the IPA, UPA, and other phonetic transcriptions.

See Graphic character and Spacing Modifier Letters

Teleprinter

A teleprinter (teletypewriter, teletype or TTY) is an electromechanical device that can be used to send and receive typed messages through various communications channels, in both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint configurations.

See Graphic character and Teleprinter

Text mode

Text mode is a computer display mode in which content is internally represented on a computer screen in terms of characters rather than individual pixels.

See Graphic character and Text mode

Typeface

A typeface (or font family) is a design of letters, numbers and other symbols, to be used in printing or for electronic display.

See Graphic character and Typeface

Typewriter

A typewriter is a mechanical or electromechanical machine for typing characters.

See Graphic character and Typewriter

Unicode

Unicode, formally The Unicode Standard, is a text encoding standard maintained by the Unicode Consortium designed to support the use of text in all of the world's writing systems that can be digitized. Graphic character and Unicode are character encoding.

See Graphic character and Unicode

Whitespace character

A whitespace character is a character data element that represents white space when text is rendered for display by a computer. Graphic character and whitespace character are character encoding.

See Graphic character and Whitespace character
