- A character repertoire
specifies a collection of characters, such as
"a", "!", and "ä".
- A character code
defines numeric codes for characters
in a repertoire. For example, in the
ISO 10646
character code the numeric codes for
"a", "!", "ä", and "‰" (per mille sign) are
97, 33, 228, and 8240. (Note: Especially the per mille sign,
presenting o/oo as a single character, can be incorrectly
shown on display or on paper. That would be an illustration
of the symptoms of the problems we are discussing.)
- A character encoding
defines how sequences of numeric
codes are presented as (i.e. mapped to)
sequences of octets.
In one possible encoding for
ISO 10646,
the string a!ä‰ is presented as the following sequence of
octets (using two octets for each character):
0, 97, 0, 33, 0, 228, 32, 48.
