Appendix B. Latin 1 Character Repertoire and Keycodes
Table B-1 lists the characters in the Latin 1 character repertoire, the primary character set supported by Flash. The first column (labeled "Dec"), gives each character's code point in decimal (the standard ASCII value), the second column provides the Unicode escape sequence for the character, and the third column describes the character itself. See Chapter 4, "Primitive Datatypes", for more information on character encoding in Flash.
For supplementary reading on the topic of character encoding, see the following resources:
- The ISO 8859 Alphabet Soup
http://czyborra.com/charsets/iso8859.html
A series of documents detailing the makeup and meaning of characters in the Latin 1 character repertoire, the primary character set supported by Flash (maintained by Roman Czyborra)
- Shift-JIS Code Points
ftp://ftp.unicode.org/Public/MAPPINGS/EASTASIA/JIS/SHIFTJIS.TXT
A list of the Unicode code points for characters in the Shift-JIS character set, Flash's supported set of Japanese characters
- Unicode FAQ
