Each character was displayed as a small dot matrix, often about 8 pixels wide, and a SBCS (single-byte character set) was generally used to encode characters of Western languages. For aesthetic reasons and readability, it is preferable for Chinese characters to be approximately square-shaped, therefore twice as wide as these fixed-width SBCS ...
SBCS, or single-byte character set, is used to refer to character encodings that use exactly one byte for each graphic character.An SBCS can accommodate a maximum of 256 symbols, and is useful for scripts that do not have many symbols or accented letters such as the Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts used mainly for European languages.
ISO/IEC 8859-7:2003, Information technology — 8-bit single-byte coded graphic character sets — Part 7: Latin/Greek alphabet, is part of the ISO/IEC 8859 series of ASCII-based standard character encodings, first edition published in 1987. [2] It is informally referred to as Latin/Greek. It was designed to cover the modern Greek language. The ...
The range U+FFA0–FFDC encodes halfwidth forms of compatibility jamo characters for Hangul, in a transposition of their 1974 standard layout. It is used in the mapping of some IBM encodings for Korean, such as IBM code page 933, which allows the use of the Shift Out and Shift In characters to shift to a double-byte character set. [ 5 ]
JIS X 0208 prescribes a set of 6879 graphical characters that correspond to two-byte codes with either seven or eight bits to the byte; in JIS X 0208, this is called the kanji set (漢字集合, kanji shūgō), which includes 6355 kanji as well as 524 non-kanji (非漢字, hikanji), including characters such as Latin letters, kana, and so forth.
Non printable ASCII character Unaltered ASCII character Modified ASCII character Single-byte half-width katakana First byte of a double-byte character, used by JIS X 0208 Not used as first byte, unallocated space in JIS X 0208 First byte of a double-byte IBM extension character First byte of a double-byte IBM-designated user defined character
The Apple Macintosh computer introduced a character encoding called Mac Roman in 1984. It was meant to be suitable for Western European desktop publishing. It is a superset of ASCII, and has most of the characters that are in ISO-8859-1 and all the extra characters from Windows-1252, but in a totally different arrangement.
5 for an isolated case inside a run of single byte characters. For runs 2 + 2 ⁄ 3 per character plus padding to make it a whole number of bytes plus two to start and finish the run 6 2 + 2 ⁄ 3: 2–6 depending on if the byte values need to be escaped 4–6 for characters inherited from GB2312/GBK (e.g. most Chinese characters) 8 for ...
