  CHARACTER AND THE SOCIAL PROCESS
The social character comprises only a selection of traits, the essential nucleus of the character structure of most members of a group which has developed as the result of the basic experiences and mode of life common to that group.
Although there will be always "deviants" with a totally different character structure, the character structure of most members of the group are variations of this nucleus, brought about by the accidental factors of birth and life experience as they differ from one individual to another.

 UTR#17: Character Encoding Model
A character encoding form is a mapping from the set of integers used in a CCS to the set of sequences of code units.
Character encoding schemes are relevant to the issue of cross-platform persistent data involving code units wider than a byte, where byte-swapping may be required to put data into the byte polarity canonical for a particular platform.
In that case, the abstract character repertoire for the character map is the union of the repertoires covered by the coded character sets involved.

 An IBM PC character generator.
The programmable character set is possible because the IBM PC defines only the first 128 (0-127) characters in graphics mode.
Note that even though each character definition is eight bytes long, once it is located properly, it can be recalled by its assigned ASCII code (128-254), which is only one byte long.
After you type this number, the computer pauses a moment and then displays your character in the character set in the box on the right in the position designated by your ASCII code.

 Summer of Code: Wide Character Support in NetBSD curses Library
In order to handle wide character input from the terminal in get_wch(), we need to add a circular buffer in the screen structure to keep the array of input characters so that correct wide as well as narrow characters can be return properly by get_wch().
With the modified internal character storage data structure, the new wide character routines as well as the routines that assume the narrow characters and use the old storage data storage structure must be written or rewritten to make add, insert, input, delete, refresh, and cursor movement operations work properly.
The narrow character insch() copies the characters on the current line from the current cursor position to the edge of the window to one position to the right, overwriting the last character on the edge.
