Template talk:Latin character info

Besides Unicode this should also cover ASCII, EBCDIC, ISO-8859-1 MacRoman, but also perhaps others such as VISCII, TCVN, Windows-1254, Windows-1258, etc &mdash; hippietrail 01:27, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * No objections here (but ... aren't all ASCII character assignments also Unicode character assignments?). Since the relevant standards can vary from one character to another, the approach I've taken elsewhere is to use  and let the user decide how to enter the data.  Of course this may lead to some inconsistency.  Perhaps some recommendations on formatting could be added to Template talk:character info? -- Visviva 02:15, 21 October 2009 (UTC)


 * The codepoints are the same but since ASCII is a 7-bit encoding it's only 2 hex digits rather than Unicode's 4 or 5 hex digits. ASCII codes have traditionally been listed in both hex and decimal too, and they never have the U+ prefix. Then again "codepoint" itself seems to be a new word popularized by Unicode if not outright invented by them. &mdash; hippietrail 10:35, 21 October 2009 (UTC)
