  • Characters for Classical Latin
    Characters for Classical Latin David J. Perry version 13, 2 July 2020 Introduction The purpose of this document is to identify all characters of interest to those who work with Classical Latin, no matter how rare. Epigraphers will want many of these, but I want to collect any character that is needed in any context. Those that are already available in Unicode will be so identified; those that may be available can be debated; and those that are clearly absent and should be proposed can be proposed; and those that are so rare as to be unencodable will be known. If you have any suggestions for additional characters or reactions to the suggestions made here, please email me at [email protected] . No matter how rare, let’s get all possible characters on this list. Version 6 of this document has been updated to reflect the many characters of interest to Latinists encoded as of Unicode version 13.0. Characters are indicated by their Unicode value, a hexadecimal number, and their name printed IN SMALL CAPITALS. Unicode values may be preceded by U+ to set them off from surrounding text. Combining diacritics are printed over a dotted cir- cle ◌ to show that they are intended to be used over a base character. For more basic information about Unicode, see the website of The Unicode Consortium, http://www.unicode.org/ or my book cited below. Please note that abbreviations constructed with lines above or through existing let- ters are not considered separate characters except in unusual circumstances, nor are the space-saving ligatures found in Latin inscriptions unless they have a unique grammatical or phonemic function (which they normally don’t).

  • Natural Functions Natural Functions
    Natural Functions Natural Functions Natural Functions This document describes various Software AG Natural functions whose names start with SAG and which were implemented as so-called User-Defined Functions; see User-Defined Functions in the Programming Guide. These Natural functions are delivered in the library SYSTEM on system file FNAT. Sample function calls are provided in the library SYSEXPG. URL Encoding Base64 Encoding URL Encoding Interfacing Natural applications with HTTP requests often requires that the URI (Uniform Resource Identifiers) is URL-encoded. The REQUEST DOCUMENT statement needs such a URL to access a document. URL-Encoding (or Percent-Encoding) is a mechanism to replace some special characters in parts of a URL. Only characters of the US-ASCII character set can be used to form a URL. Some characters of the US-ASCII character set have a special meaning when used in a URL - they are classified as "reserved" control characters, which structure the URL string into different semantic subcomponents. The quasi standard concerning the generic syntax of an URL is laid down in RFC3986, a document composed by the Internet community. It describes under which conditions the URL-Encoding is needed. This includes the representation of characters which are not inside the US-ASCII character set (for example, Euro sign), and it describes the use of reserved characters. Reserved characters are: ? = & # ! $ % ’ ( ) * + , / : ; @ [ ] Non reserved characters are: A-Z a-z 0-9 - _ . ~ A URL may only consist of reserved and non-reserved characters, other characters are not permitted. If other byte values are needed (which do not correspond to any of the reserved and non-reserved characters) or if reserved characters are used as data (which should not have a special semantic meaning in the URL context), they need to be translated into the "%-encoding" form - a percent sign, immediately followed by the two-digit hexadecimal representation of the code point, due to the Windows-1252 encoding scheme.

  • The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters
    The Brill Typeface User Guide & Complete List of Characters Version 2.06, October 31, 2014 Pim Rietbroek Preamble Few typefaces – if any – allow the user to access every Latin character, every IPA character, every diacritic, and to have these combine in a typographically satisfactory manner, in a range of styles (roman, italic, and more); even fewer add full support for Greek, both modern and ancient, with specialised characters that papyrologists and epigraphers need; not to mention coverage of the Slavic languages in the Cyrillic range. The Brill typeface aims to do just that, and to be a tool for all scholars in the humanities; for Brill’s authors and editors; for Brill’s staff and service providers; and finally, for anyone in need of this tool, as long as it is not used for any commercial gain.* There are several fonts in different styles, each of which has the same set of characters as all the others. The Unicode Standard is rigorously adhered to: there is no dependence on the Private Use Area (PUA), as it happens frequently in other fonts with regard to characters carrying rare diacritics or combinations of diacritics. Instead, all alphabetic characters can carry any diacritic or combination of diacritics, even stacked, with automatic correct positioning. This is made possible by the inclusion of all of Unicode’s combining characters and by the application of extensive OpenType Glyph Positioning programming. Credits The Brill fonts are an original design by John Hudson of Tiro Typeworks. Alice Savoie contributed to Brill bold and bold italic. The black-letter (‘Fraktur’) range of characters was made by Karsten Lücke.
