Description

Possessing everything you need to grasp Unicode, this comprehensive reference takes you on a detailed guide through the complex character world. Learn how to identify and classify characters, utilize their properties, and process data in a robust manner. Other topics include collation and sorting, line breaking rules and Unicode encodings. Perfect for both beginning and seasoned programmers.

Fundamentally, computers just deal with numbers. They store letters and other characters by assigning a number for each one. There are hundreds of different encoding systems for mapping characters to numbers, but Unicode promises a single mapping. Unicode enables a single software product or website to be targeted across multiple platforms, languages and countries without re-engineering. It's no wonder that industry giants like Apple, Hewlett-Packard, IBM andMicrosoft have all adopted Unicode.

Containing everything you need to understand Unicode, this comprehensive reference from O'Reilly takes you on a detailed guide through the complex character world. For starters, it explains how to identify and classify characters - whether they're common, uncommon, or exotic. It then shows you how to type them, utilize their properties, and process character data in a robust manner.

The book is broken up into three distinct parts. The first few chapters provide you with a tutorial presentation of Unicode and character data. It gives you a firm grasp of the terminology you need to reference various components, including character sets, fonts and encodings, glyphs and character repertoires.

The middle section offers more detailed information about using Unicode and other character codes. It explains the principles and methods of defining character codes, describes some of the widely used codes, and presents code conversion techniques. It also discusses properties of characters, collation and sorting, line breaking rules and Unicode encodings. The final four chapters cover more advanced material, such as programming to support Unicode.

You simply can't afford to be without the nuggets of valuable information detailed in Unicode Explained.

描述

擁有一切你需要了解Unicode的資訊,這本全面的參考書將帶領你深入了解複雜的字符世界。學習如何識別和分類字符,利用它們的屬性,以及以強大的方式處理數據。其他主題包括排序和分類,斷行規則和Unicode編碼。適合初學者和有經驗的程式設計師。

基本上,電腦只處理數字。它們通過為每個字符分配一個數字來存儲字母和其他字符。有數百種不同的編碼系統用於將字符映射到數字,但Unicode承諾提供單一映射。Unicode使得單一軟體產品或網站可以在多個平台、語言和國家中使用,而無需重新設計。難怪蘋果、惠普、IBM和微軟等行業巨頭都採用了Unicode。

這本由O'Reilly出版的全面參考書包含了你理解Unicode所需的一切。首先,它解釋了如何識別和分類字符-無論它們是常見的、不常見的還是異國情調的。然後,它向你展示如何輸入它們,利用它們的屬性,以及以強大的方式處理字符數據。

這本書分為三個不同的部分。前幾章向你提供了有關Unicode和字符數據的教程。它讓你對需要引用各種組件的術語有了牢固的掌握,包括字符集、字體和編碼、字形和字符庫。

中間部分提供了更詳細的有關使用Unicode和其他字符編碼的信息。它解釋了定義字符編碼的原則和方法,描述了一些常用的編碼,並介紹了編碼轉換技術。它還討論了字符的屬性、排序和分類、斷行規則和Unicode編碼。最後四章涵蓋了更高級的內容,例如支援Unicode的程式設計。

你絕對不能沒有這本《Unicode Explained》中詳細的寶貴信息。
