There are also short names for all of the “C0 control characters” The most commonly used non-printing characters have long character Many of the non-printing characters, such as whitespace characters and This allows the combining character to be drawn on the circle, not on ![]() U 25CC (a small, dotted circle), followed by the combining character. For combining characters, anĪlternate form of the character literal is #\ followed by To be printed by themselves but are instead meant to modify theĪppearance of the previous character. Some of the code points are ’combining characters’ that are not meant PrintableĬharacters have their usual single character name for example, Name is the name of the character that you want. In Scheme, a character literal is written as #\ name where This convenient notation is not valid code. “U XXXX” where “XXXX” is a hexadecimal number. The code points, about 800,000, are ’reserved code points’.īy convention, a Unicode code point is written as If a code point is not a designated code point – if it has not beenĪssigned to a character by The Unicode Standard – it is a ’reservedĬode point’, meaning that they are reserved for future use. SomeĪre not characters but indicators that suggest how to format or Other characters, symbols, whitespace, and control characters. Indicate characters, accents or other combining marks that modify Most of the designated code points, about 200,000 of them, Otherwise been given a meaning by Unicode is called a ’designated code #x10FFFF inclusive, which is about 1.1 million code points.Īny code point that has been assigned to a character or that has The ranges 0 to #xD7FF inclusive or #圎000 to Indexed using integers called ’code points’. The Unicode Character Database is basically a table of characters So, for Guile, aĬharacter is anything in the Unicode Character Database. Standard to help define what a character is. Guile follows the advice of R6RS and uses The Unicode In Scheme, there is a data type to describe a single character.ĭefining what exactly a character is can be more complicated ![]() Next: Character Sets, Previous: Numerical data types, Up: Data Types
