On the opposite, the code point U+0085 is a valid control character in Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646, as well as in XML 1.0 and XML 1.1 documents (in all contexts), and its usage is not discouraged (it is treated as whitespace in many XML contexts, or as a line-break control similar to U+000D and U+000A in preformatted texts in some XML applications).
This article lists the character entity references that are valid in HTML and XML documents. A character entity reference refers to the content of a named entity. An entity declaration is created in XML, SGML and HTML documents (before HTML5) by using the <!ENTITY name "value"> syntax in a Document type definition (DTD).
When the XML document is converted to a more limited character set, such as ASCII, characters that can no longer be represented are converted to &#nnn; character references for a lossless conversion. But within a CDATA section, these characters can not be represented at all, and have to be removed or converted to some equivalent, altering the ...
In character data and attribute values, XML 1.1 allows the use of more control characters than XML 1.0, but, for "robustness", most of the control characters introduced in XML 1.1 must be expressed as numeric character references (and #x7F through #x9F, which had been allowed in XML 1.0, are in XML 1.1 even required to be expressed as numeric ...
In computer science, an illegal character is a character that is not allowed by a certain programming language, protocol, or program. [1] To avoid illegal characters, some languages may use an escape character which is a backslash followed by another character.
The replacement character (often displayed as a black rhombus with a white question mark) is a symbol found in the Unicode standard at code point U+FFFD in the Specials table. It is used to indicate problems when a system is unable to render a stream of data to correct symbols.
Titles cannot contain images (which would require forbidden characters in order to be displayed), only Unicode characters. For example, the recycling symbol ♲ is encoded in Unicode as U+2672, so it can be included, but the non-directional beacon symbol is not a Unicode character and cannot appear in a page title.
XHTML documents have a third option: to express the character encoding via XML declaration, as follows: [4] <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> With this second approach, because the character encoding cannot be known until the declaration is parsed, there is a problem knowing which character encoding is used in the document up to and ...
