Re: Gnopernicus and ISO-Latin2 characters

[remus draica <rd baum ro>]

Hi,

Bill, for me one thing is still unclear. Is possible to have more than
one graphical representation for a character (same code as number)
depending on the character set? In this case, how this is specified? In
windows I know that a code page is used for this.

My impression was (and still is) that all characters are represented
from 0 to a huge number and some parts of the interval represents
characters sets.

0......x......y.....z......t.....(something huge)
       [latin1]    [latin2]
where latin1 is the interval of chars with codes between x and y.

you said "different Latin characters"? What that means? Same character
in different languages? For example "a" in english and german? Or same
character with a different sense depending on something else (a "code
page"?)?
