| For example, in the character set called ISO 8859-1 (also known as Latin1) […] Isn’t ISO 8859-1 a character encoding; but not a character set? IMHO these two terms should be clearly distinguished; the wrong usage leeds to many misunderstandings. My suggestion: delete “ISO 8859-1”: For example, in the character set called Latin1 […] | The Devanagari character क, with codepoint 2325, can be represented by two bytes (09 15), three bytes (E0 A4 95), or four bytes (00 00 09 15), […] Suggestion: codepoint also as hexadecimal number; that would make it easier to understand the UTF-16 and UTF-32 encoding: The Devanagari character क, with codepoint 2325 (hexadecimal 915, usually referred to as U+0915), can be represented by two bytes (09 15), three bytes (E0 A4 95), or four bytes (00 00 09 15), […] My .02 €, Gunnar
