(1) A letter, digit, or other symbol that is used to represent data. (2) A sequence of one or more bytes representing a single graphic symbol or control code. This term corresponds to the ISO C standard term multibyte character, where a single-byte character is a special case of the multibyte character. Unlike the usage in the ISO C standard, character here has no necessary relationship with storage space, and byte is used when storage space is discussed. X/Open, . See multibyte character.
The minimal unit of encoding for text files. A character typically corresponds to a single graphic sign, like a letter of the alphabet or a punctuation mark.
Having letters, numbers, or special characters such as @, -, $ and spaces.

A character is a Platonic ideal reified into at least one glyph. For example the letter "s" is a character which is reified into several different glyphs: "S", "s", "", long-s, etc. Note that these glyphs can look fairly different from each other, however although the glyph for an integral sign might be the same as the long-s glyph, these are in fact different characters.
character code The word character is used differently in different contexts. In the context of modern computer operating systems, it is often defined as a code with a meaning attached to it. For example, the decimal character code 97 represents the letter “a”. In most operating systems today, character codes are represented by an 8-bit unit of data known as a byte. Also see character encoding, glyph, keyboard layout.
A single group of bars with spaces which represents an individual number, letter or punctuation mark.
A letter, number, punctuation mark, space or special symbol that would require a keystroke.
The single term for letters or numbers.
the elementary unit from which strings and csets are composed. Characters are used to represent letters, digits, punctuation marks, and so forth. Characters are represented internally by small nonnegative integers (typically 8 bits). Some characters have associated glyphs. Icon has no character data type.
A single printable letter (A through Z), numeral (0 through 9), or symbol, (for example, % . $ ,) used to represent data. Text symbols also include those that are not visible as characters, such as, a space, a tab, or a carriage return.
