Character A is character sixty-five in ASCII. To "type" it you'd normally just press the A character on the keyboard. To get some program to output it, you've got various ways you can achieve it: * Output the character A. * Output the decimal number 65, representing A. * Output the hexadecimal number 41, representing A. * Output the octal number 100, representing A. Normally, on Fedora Core you're producing UTF-8 text from a console, but it's identical to ASCII for the first 128 characters. So, this text, as I've typed it in the message can be represented by ASCII, ISO-8859-1, and UTF-8 encoded unicode. They're all interchangeable, at this point. -- (Currently running FC4, occasionally trying FC5.) Don't send private replies to my address, the mailbox is ignored.
