End-of-Transmission character
In telecommunication, an End-of-Transmission character (EOT) is a transmission control character. Its intended use is to indicate the conclusion of a transmission that may have included one or more texts and any associated message headings. An EOT is often used to initiate other functions, such as releasing circuits, disconnecting terminals, or placing receive terminals in a standby condition. Its most common use today is to cause a Unix terminal driver to signal and thus exit programs that are awaiting input.
Combining character
In digital typography, combining characters are characters that are intended to modify other characters. The most common combining characters in the Latin script are the combining diacritical marks (including combining accents). Unicode also contains many precomposed characters, so that in many cases it is possible to use both combining diacritics and precomposed characters, at the user's or application's choice.
Less-than sign
The less-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the left, , has been found in documents dated as far back as the 1560s. In mathematical writing, the less-than sign is typically placed between two values being compared and signifies that the first number is less than the second number. Examples of typical usage include < 1 and −2 < 0.
Symbole dollar
Le symbole dollar () est un symbole monétaire utilisé pour signifier les monnaies dénommées « dollar » ou celles nommées « peso » en Amérique latine. Le dollar est aussi la monnaie de l'Amérique. Dollar#Histoire de la deviseDollar : Histoire de la devise thumb|left|upright|Armoiries de l’Espagne. L’usage du « S » barré () comme petit symbole du dollar américain aurait pour origine le dessin qui figurait sur les pièces coloniales espagnoles de 8 réaux (mais aussi sur celles de un demi, un, deux et quatre réaux) frappées pour la plupart d'entre elles entre 1732 et 1771 aux ateliers monétaires de Mexico, Lima, Santiago du Chili et Potosí.
Greater-than sign
The greater-than sign is a mathematical symbol that denotes an inequality between two values. The widely adopted form of two equal-length strokes connecting in an acute angle at the right, , has been found in documents dated as far back as 1631. In mathematical writing, the greater-than sign is typically placed between two values being compared and signifies that the first number is greater than the second number. Examples of typical usage include 1.5 > 1 and 1 > −2. The less-than sign and greater-than sign always "point" to the smaller number.
Table des caractères Unicode
Unicode est une norme informatique développée par le Consortium Unicode qui vise à donner à tout caractère de n'importe quel système d’écriture de langue un identifiant numérique unique, et ce de manière unifiée, quelle que soit la plate-forme informatique ou le logiciel. Unicode et la norme ISO/CEI 10646 attribuent à chaque caractère un nom officiel au sein d’un répertoire commun unifié entre toutes les langues et tous les usages.
Caret
Caret is the name used familiarly for the character , (the circumflex and a circumflex accent) provided on most QWERTY keyboards by typing . The symbol has a variety of uses in programming and mathematics. The name "caret" arose from its visual similarity to the original proofreader's caret, a mark used in proofreading to indicate where a punctuation mark, word, or phrase should be inserted into a document. The formal ASCII standard (X3.64.1977) calls it a "circumflex".
Cham script
The Cham script is a Brahmic abugida used to write Cham, an Austronesian language spoken by some 245,000 Chams in Vietnam and Cambodia. It is written horizontally left to right, just like other Brahmic abugidas. The Cham script is a descendant of the Brahmi script of India. Cham was one of the first scripts to develop from a script called the Pallava script some time around 200 CE. It came to Southeast Asia as part of the expansion of Hinduism and Buddhism.
Substitute character
In computer data, a substitute character (␚) is a control character that is used to pad transmitted data in order to send it in blocks of fixed size, or to stand in place of a character that is recognized to be invalid, erroneous or unrepresentable on a given device. It is also used as an escape sequence in some programming languages. In the ASCII character set, this character is encoded by the number 26 ( hex). Standard keyboards transmit this code when the and keys are pressed simultaneously (, often documented by convention as ).
