What is the character's map?

character map is a specific font editing function that is part of the Microsoft® Windows® computer operating system. It allows users to insert different characters that differ from the standard alphabet into the bodies of the text. These include special characters such as copyright symbols, mathematical symbols, monetary brands, Greek letters and Chinese characteristics. With the character map, users can change the script of all these symbols to any type of font that is part of the compatible programs. The trick to quickly view these fonts is to highlight the current name in the map font box and either sliding down with the mouse wheel or pressing the up and down arrow keys.

Unicode character map groups specific symbols according to a set of standards used to identify them across the spectrum of different languages. The International Organization for Standards (ISO) is the management body responsible for determining, maintenance and updating these standards. Character Map allows you to find special characters either by name orUsing Unicode. Search according to Unicode is performed by selecting different options in an advanced view of the organizer of the character map.

6 Creating web content with Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) sometimes requires the use of a graphic organizer that already contains copying symbols and grazed coded with the correct HTML formatting. This online source can save time that would otherwise be devoted to referring and coding each special character manually.

It is possible to create your own characters using a private character editor. This is a tool that can only be accessed in some newer operating systems. The private editor builds his own abbreviation; It can only be opened by entering the word "eudcedit" into the Run field in the Start menu. After selecting a pre -defined ISO numeric code for the type of font, users can draw, edit and store their own unique characters in the paletteeditor.
