  2. Unicode in Microsoft Windows - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unicode_in_Microsoft_Windows

    Current Windows versions and all back to Windows XP and prior Windows NT (3.x, 4.0) are shipped with system libraries that support string encoding of two types: 16-bit "Unicode" (UTF-16 since Windows 2000) and a (sometimes multibyte) encoding called the "code page" (or incorrectly referred to as ANSI code page). 16-bit functions have names suffixed with 'W' (from "wide") such as SetWindowTextW.

  3. Double-byte character set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-byte_character_set

    The term DBCS traditionally refers to a character encoding where each graphic character is encoded in two bytes.. In an 8-bit code, such as Big-5 or Shift JIS, a character from the DBCS is represented with a lead (first) byte with the most significant bit set (i.e., being greater than seven bits), and paired up with a single-byte character-set (SBCS).

  4. UTF-16 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-16

    [24] [25] Microsoft has stated that "UTF-16 [..] is a unique burden that Windows places on code that targets multiple platforms" [26] and it has been possible to use UTF-8 API since Windows 10 insider build 17035 in May 2019. [27] Files and network data tend to be a mix of UTF-16, UTF-8, and legacy byte encodings. SMS text messaging effectively ...

    GNU Octave is a scientific programming language for scientific computing and numerical computation.Octave helps in solving linear and nonlinear problems numerically, and for performing other numerical experiments using a language that is mostly compatible with MATLAB.

  6. Microsoft Macro Assembler - Wikipedia

    However, the setup.exe is an MZ executable so won't run under 64-bit versions of Windows, and the bi-modal ml.exe is compressed, and the decomp.exe is an NE executable, so also won't run under 64-bit versions of Windows (if you were hoping to manually extract the required ml.exe and ml.err), so you effectively need access to 32-bit Windows (or ...

  7. UTF-8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8

    Windows Notepad, in all currently supported versions of Windows, defaults to writing UTF-8 without a BOM (a change from Windows 7 Notepad), bringing it into line with most other text editors. [40] Some system files on Windows 11 require UTF-8 [ 41 ] with no requirement for a BOM, and almost all files on macOS and Linux are required to be UTF-8 ...

  8. Plain text - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plain_text

    Plain text is also sometimes used only to exclude "binary" files: those in which at least some parts of the file cannot be correctly interpreted via the character encoding in effect. For example, a file or string consisting of "hello" (in any encoding), following by 4 bytes that express a binary integer that is not a character, is a binary file.

  9. Approximate string matching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Approximate_string_matching

    The closeness of a match is measured in terms of the number of primitive operations necessary to convert the string into an exact match. This number is called the edit distance between the string and the pattern. The usual primitive operations are: [1] insertion: cot → coat; deletion: coat → cot
