 RomanComedy
No Romans are portrayed in his plays as Romans, probably because of a fear of satirizing the stately and self-conscious citizen body.
But through the Greek disguise, shines one of the few glimpses of a basic, honest, genuinely funny and multifarious Roman character and the old Roman mode of speech, which were soon to be submerged by the elegance of the Augustan masters.
The odd things about Roman Comedy, is that, although it is Greek in origin, in plot, and in many details of its internal operation, it looks thoroughly Roman when one compares it to the more heavily Hellenized literature of the Augustan Age.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: The Roman Rite
The Roman Rite is the manner of celebrating the Holy Sacrifice, administering Sacraments, reciting the Divine Office, and performing other ecclesiastical functions (blessings, all kinds of Sacramentals, etc.) as used in the city and Diocese of Rome.
The Roman Rite was adopted throughout the West because the local bishops, sometimes kings or emperors, felt that they could not do better than use the rite of the chief bishop of all, at Rome.
The language of the Roman Rite is Latin everywhere except that in some churches along the Western Adriatic coast it is said in Slavonic and on rare occasions in Greek at Rome (see RITES).

 Method of and apparatus for forming ideograms - Patent 4498143
By "forming" a character is meant the entering and processing of information sufficient to identify the character for the purpose of printing the character, or displaying it, or otherwise using it for communications or other purposes.
The Hiragana, Katakana, and Roman mode keys yield alphabetic symbols, in a manner readily understood, but the Kanji mode key does not, and it is to the Kanji mode that the present concepts are directed, although the other modes are important in the larger context in which the invention is placed.
In the Hiragana, Katakana and Roman nodes of operation, each keystroke displays a single character which is identified by its ASCII code from information in the disk store 53 or the memory EPROM 52 of FIG.

 Unicode Transformation Formats
As the first and second byte of a double-byte character both use the same {=A1..=FE} range of values, you cannot easily tell the one from the other and recognize the character boundaries in the middle of a long stretch of 8bit bytes.
UTF-8 is a variable-length multibyte encoding which means that you cannot calculate the number of characters from the mere number of bytes and vice versa for memory allocation and that you have to allocate oversized buffers or parse and keep counters.
UTF-8 uses 8bit characters which are still being stripped by many mail gateways because Internet messages were originally defined to be 7bit ASCII only but their number is decreasing as the software of the 1990s tends to be 8bit clean.

The chief Roman contribution to architecture was the arch, and the dome it made possible.
While much Roman sculpture was derivative of Greek models, and all deeply indebted to Greek techniques, the Roman character made portraiture the strongest and most original aspect of Roman sculpture.

Both Mac Standard Roman and ISO Latin-1 use the ASCII character definitions for characters in the range 0 to 127.
Characters that are not defined in both sets (for example, the bullet generated by option-8 on the Mac is not defined in ISO Latin-1) are translated to an asterisk.
There are other HTML character sets besides ISO Latin-1 (such as ISO Latin-2) that define a different set of characters for the values 128-256.

When you send a message using the non-Roman characters font in Entourage, the message is received with the non-Roman characters displayed as question marks.
This behavior occurs because when you compose messages in the non-Roman character format, you change the encoding for the message from the default Automatic encoding setting to a specific encoding type.
The Automatic encoding setting accommodates multiple character sets that are entered in the body of the same message.

The "Roman" character set of JIS X 0201 [JISX0201] is identical to ASCII except for backslash () and tilde (~).
If there are JIS X 0208 characters on a line, there must be a switch to ASCII or to the "Roman" set of JIS X 0201 before the end of the line (i.e., before the CRLF).
The implementor is reminded that JIS X 0208 characters take up two bytes and should not be split in the middle to break lines for displaying, etc. The JIS X 0208 standard was revised in 1990, to add two characters at the end of the table.

After the simplification of characters or hanzi on mainland China during the twentieth century, new character ordering schemes were invented.
Alternative forms of the characters are specified within parentheses — in which case "F" marks full (or traditional) forms, "S" marks simplified (or modern) forms and "A" marks alternative forms (mostly special numerals).

This had been haunting me for a few days, as people from various places in the world wrote me about why a WebForm I built was throwing an error message, saying their “e-mail address was not in the right format“, when it most certainly was.
My guess is something with the “@” character being parsed wrong, hence breaking the regular expression my validation enforces.
Thus, I'm now thinking of a way to have what would be languages not descendant of the Roman character set be workable in validation routines.

A font is the complete set of characters for one style of a specific typeface, including all the letters, numbers, and punctuation marks.

Conversely, if you type an ANSI character that appears on screen but is not supported in the fonts your printer uses, some other character, such as a period, will be printed instead.
