Unicode - Operating systems. Despite technical problems and limitations and criticism on process, Unicode has emerged as the dominant encoding scheme. Windows NT and its descendants Windows 2000 and Windows XP make extensive use of UTF-16 as an internal representation of text. Unix-like operating systems such as GNU/Linux, Plan 9, BSD and Mac OS X have adopted UTF-8 as the bas ...

There is a lot of confusion about how to write the Romanian characters that denote the sounds /S/ and /ts/. Although the officially preferred forms are, respectively, "s with comma below" and "t with comma below", many texts printed use "s with cedilla" and "t with cedilla" and in practice it appears to be a font variation. This usage has been aggregated into all character encoding standards for Central and Eastern Europe (including ISO 8859-2), which include "s" and "t" with cedillas. In addition, most computer fonts have "s-cedilla" with a cedilla (like the Turkish eq ...

In Unicode, canonical decomposition is a process of converting composite characters into canonically-ordered strings of simpler characters using Unicode canonical mappings. The procedure of decomposition may be applied recursively; that is, the characters in the decomposition string may be decomposed further. Any canonical decomposition of a character is a string that is canonically equivalent to the original character. If a character is not deco ...

"Ā" or "ā", is a character representing a modified letter A or a seperate letter, depending on the language. In the Latvian alphabet Ā represents a distinct vowel and comes after A and before B in alphabetical order: for instance baznīca comes before bārda in a Latvian dictionary. It some languages Ā is used to denote a long A. Examples are the Polynesian languages, including Māori, Latin, some romanizations of Japanese (rōmaji) and romanizations of Arabic. In Pinyin, Ā denotes ...
