I propose: "A coded character set is a mapping from characters to numbers known as code points. Each character is assigned a different number." > > s/non-ASCII/non-US-ASCII/ > > We don't use US-ASCII elsewhere (since I don't think we need that > level of specificity) so I don't think we should here. There's no ASCII but US-ASCII: see http://home.ccil.org/~cowan/ascii.html . -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org http://ccil.org/~cowan It's the old, old story. Droid meets droid. Droid becomes chameleon. Droid loses chameleon, chameleon becomes blob, droid gets blob back again. It's a classic tale. --Kryten, Red Dwarf
