character-codes

Wondering what the "character codes" are for the cmap table in TrueType fonts. Microsoft talks about the Character to Glyph Index Mapping Table , but I don't see what the character or glyph index mean. Wondering if somewhere in the font file you specify the encoding , such as Unicode 11.0, and then the character codes are equal to the Unicode code points such as U+0061 for a . Or if the character codes are instead the "browser" character codes (decimal codes I guess), such as 97 for a . Basically wondering how you map keyboard characters to font glyphs, and what that really means. I think you

Given a character code as integer number in one encoding, how can you get the character code in, say, utf-8 and again as integer? UTF-8 is a variable-length encoding , so I'll assume you really meant "Unicode code point". Use chr() to convert the character code to a character, decode it, and use ord() to get the code point. >>> ord(chr(145).decode('koi8-r')) 9618 You can only map an "integer number" from one encoding to another if they are both single-byte encodings. Here's an example using "iso-8859-15" and "cp1252" (aka "ANSI"): >>> s = u'€' >>> s.encode('iso-8859-15') '\xa4' >>> s.encode(

I'm able to convert a character to its corresponding character/ASCII code using "Asc(CHAR)". What can I use to convert this returned integer back to its original character form? Jason Yost The Chr function in VB.NET converts the integer back to the character: Dim i As Integer = Asc("x") ' Convert to ASCII integer. Dim x As Char = Chr(i) ' Convert ASCII integer to char. The Scrum Meister Use the Chr or ChrW function, Chr(charNumber) . You could use the Chr(int) function you can also use Dim intValue as integer = 65 ' letter A for instance Dim strValue As String = Char.ConvertFromUtf32(intValue)

What does the character code (HTML) ​ ? I found it in one of my jQuery scripts and wondered what it was.. Thanks. Edit: Here is the script it was in (it was added to the end, found it in Firebug) <script src="http://code.jquery.com/jquery-latest.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var $jnyh = jQuery.noConflict(); $jnyh(function() { $jnyh("#title-nyh").click(function() { $jnyh(".show-hide-nyh").slideDown("slow"); }, function() { if(!$jnyh(this).data('pinned')) $jnyh(".show-hide-nyh").slideUp("slow"); }); $jnyh("#title-nyh").click(function() { $jnyh(this).parent(
