	Introducing Character Sets and Encodings
		Characters in a character set are stored as one or more bytes in a computer.
		A character encoding is the key that maps a particular byte or sequence of bytes to particular characters that the font renders as text.
		They provide a way of representing characters that are not available in the character encoding you are using, or a way of avoiding the use of the character for other reasons (such as when they may conflict with syntax).

	Chinese character - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Characters made up of multiple parts squash these parts together in order to maintain a uniform size and shape — this is the case especially with characters written in the Sòngtǐ style.
		Because character simplifications were not officially sanctioned and generally a result of caoshu writing or idiosyncratic reductions, traditional, standard characters were mandatory in printed, and especially official, works, while the (unofficial) simplified characters would be used in everyday writing, or quick scribblings.
		And the character 雲 yún (cloud) was written with the structure 云 in the oracle bone script of the Shāng dynasty, and had remained in use later as a phonetic loan in the meaning of to say.

	Character structure - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Among the earliest factors that determine an individual's eventual character structure are his or her genetic characteristics, the conditions under which gestation occurred, and early childhood nurture and education.
		The individual character can similarly be described in structural regard as a typical combination of character traits and character orientations like the social character.
		Fromm notes that character structures develop in each individual to enable him or her to interact successfully within a given society may be very counter-productive when used in a different society.

	Robust Vertical Text Layout
		Scripts in their native orientation need no additional stylistic hints for proper layout: their inline progression and glyph orientation are both intrinsically mandated, so the style system can know by itself how to lay them out.
		For scripts in a non-native orientation, the natural inline text flow depends on the direction of line stacking: the text is most comfortably laid out as if the whole text block were merely rotated from the horizontal.
		Character shaping is the process of selecting, based on context, which of several allographs of a letter should be used.

	SDTS: Spatial Data Transfer Standard - Part 1, Logical Specification (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The character body encloses all of the drawn parts (kerning excepted) of all characters in the font (that is, no descender extends lower than the bottom and no accent or oversized symbol extends higher than the top).
		The character expansion factor specifies the deviation of the width to height of the characters from the ratio indicated by the font designer.
		The character height is specified as a fraction of the scaled character heigth.

	Character Sets: MARC-8 Environment (Library of Congress)
		Graphic character sets may be represented by either 8 bits per character, or, where a larger number of characters needs to be accommodated by the character set, by more than 8 bits codes per character (usually in multiples of 8).
		I is the Intermediate character sequence, which may be one or more characters in length and indicates whether the set is designated as the G0 set or the G1 set and whether the set has one byte or multiple bytes per character.
		Escape sequences to designate alternate graphic character sets may occur wherever the alternate characters are needed, e.g., within a word, at the beginning of a subfield, or in the middle of a subfield.

	Exif Orientation Page
		Exif specification defines an Orientation Tag to indicate the orientation of the camera relative to the captured scene.
		This can be used by the camera either to indicate the orientation automatically by an orientation sensor, or to allow the user to indicate the orientation manually by a menu switch, without actually transforming the image data itself.
		The orientation of the camera relative to the scene, when the image was captured.

	New England Blade and HX New England // Gaming // Blizzard of GLBT gaming policy questions
		One of the options is to play on a role-playing server where players actually play as their characters, rather than through their characters.
		"We have determined that advertising sexual orientation is not appropriate for the high fantasy setting of the World of Warcraft and is therefore not permitted" was another of Blizzard's responses.
		Should gender identity be enforced as sexual orientation is? We look forward to exploring these questions and others in a future article.

	15-462 Assignment 3
		Because a character's pose is described by all of his/her joint angles and the position and orientation of his/her root node, a simple way to compare two poses is to calculate the sum of the distances between each joint angle and the position and orientation of the root node.
		Also, in.amc file the orientation of a root node is given in fixed angles in XYZ order (or you can think about it as euler angles in ZYX order).
		If you are using euler angles for rotation representation, you may want to exclude root orientation from your evaluation function completely as the same orientation is often represented by very different rotations around XYZ axes (this is especially noticeable for root node orientation since it varies greatly).

	LOGFONT (Microsoft Foundation Classes for Windows CE)
		Specifies the height, in logical units, of the character cell or character of the font.
		The character height value, also known as the em height, is the character cell height value minus the internal-leading value.
		Character quality of the font is more important than exact matching of the logical-font attributes.

		The main objective of the study is to identify areas of similarities and differences in orientation of narratives between ES and CS groups in their English L1 and L2 as well as Chinese L1.
		Another remarkable difference in orientation of the narratives between the two groups is the introduction of the characters and their references.
		ES preference for naming the characters may reflect a cultural difference in narrative conventions, particularly in what is customary in storytelling to children (Berman 1999).

		The character essence or NATURE refers to the specific attributes which are equally shared by all 3 members of the Godhead.
		God is HOLY because of His absolute character; a character that is divine in contrast to creatures who are finite.

	Scripting Text Orientation Attributes: To_name (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The Text Orientation attributes allow the appearance of text character strings to be changed by defining the character height, up-angle, path, and horizontal and vertical alignment.
		The character up-angle, which defines the text orientation with respect to the vertical, is measured positive clockwise from the vertical in units of degrees.
		The character path is specified as `r' if the characters are to be read from left to right, `l' if they are to be read from right to left, `u' if they are to be read in an upward direction, or `d' if they are to be read in a downward direction.

		A complete character and style analysis for an individual political leader requires a closer examination of his life history, with special attention to periods in which self-esteem is linked with experiments in adaptation.
		There is an orientation towards productiveness as a value and an ability to move flexibly among various orientations toward action as rational adaptation to opportunities and demands.
		That is explained by a character-rooted orientation toward doing dutiful service; the compensation is for low self-esteem based on a sense of uselessness.

	C++ in a Nutshell: Chapter 13
		When reading, multibyte characters are converted to wide characters, and when writing, wide characters are converted to multibyte characters.
		Mixing narrow and wide functions on a stream is an error, that is, calling a narrow function on a stream with wide orientation or calling a wide function on a stream with narrow orientation is an error.
		If the orientation has already been set, it is not changed, and the stream's true orientation is returned.

	Erich Fromm: freedom and alienation, and loving and being, in education
		To describe this orientation toward, or love of, death Erich Fromm used the notion of necrophilia.
		He was concerned to go beyond the popular usage of the term (to refer to sexual contact with the dead; and/or the desire to be near to corpses), and to look to necrophilia as a character-rooted passion - the passion to transform that which alive into something unalive (Fromm 1973: 332).
		Love is not primarily a relationship to a specific person; it is an attitude, an orientation of character which determines the relatedness of a person to the world as a whole, not towards one 'object' of love.

	Rob Bloom : I was a Disney Character: A Tale of Blood, Sweat and Fur
		For years, I'd watch the characters walk in and out of specially disguised doors and wonder what was on the other side.
		Characters that have broken through the mainstream via TV, movies or massive merchandise sale are regarded as stars.
		At the bottom of the list are characters based on rides (the Country Bears), characters long forgotten (Pinocchio's Gideon) and worst of all, characters who took a spin on the Disney promotional machine and still failed to make an impact (Goofy's son, Max).

		As a note, if you want your character to be part of the warlock social class (the equivalent of the European nobles), you must contact me before you create your character's background.
		I will accept no more than one warlock in the party (and it would be preferable that I not have any, but I know players have this habit of doing whatever the GM doesn't want to happen ^_^), and warlocks have special requirements/restrictions so you really must talk with me first.

		It is testified that it was from Egypt that Thales acquired the rudiments of geometry.
		However, the evidence is that the Egyptian skills were in orientation, measurement, and calculation.

	Thai Character : Ego Orientation of Thai People
		The Ego Orientation in the Thai Character and Culture
		The Thai are first and foremost ego oriented, characterized by the highest ego value of being Independent- being oneself (Pen tua khong tua eng), and a very high value of Self esteem.
		This "ego" orientation is the root value underlying various key values of the Thai, such as "face-saving", "criticism-avoidance, and the Kreng jai attitude which roughly means "feeling considerate for another person, not want to impose or cause other person trouble, or hurt his/her feeling".

	character orientation - The Virtools Swap-Meet Forums (Site not responding. Last check: )
		When I import a character (with a biped skeleton) from 3dsmax (created in the front viewport, facing me), the positive z-axis of the Character (in virtools) is aligned with the world's z-axis.
		This means that if I was to translate the Character over a vector (0,0,1) (ref: itself) the Character would seem to move backwards.
		The character-skin and all the biped-bodyparts appear to have their z-axis's aligned consistent (pointing away from the character at least, but still opposite the world's z-axis).

	Japan Hero > Super Sentai, Kamen Rider, Tokusatsu Heroes and Anime Heroes
		I anticipated it being somewhat of an action-packed mecha battle anime, with Cybuster at the forefront of the story, however it turned out to be more of a character driven story with the mecha component being more of a secondary thing, at least in these first five episodes of the series.
		The characters overall proved to be an interesting mix, with each being motivated by a different set of circumstances and personalities.
		Cybuster is a slower mecha show with more of a character orientation early on in the series, which in many ways makes the most sense as this is the first set of episodes that will set the pace for the rest of the series.
