• Unicode: The universal character set, a global standard to support all the world's languages. Consists of 100,000+ characters used by 150 writing systems. Typically encoded into bytes using UTF-8.
• ASCII: The most compatible character set. A subset of Unicode/UTF-8 consisting of 128 characters using 7-bits in the range 0x00 - 0x7F. The visible characters are English letters, digits, and punctuation in the range 0x20 - 0x7E, with the remaining being control characters.
• Transliteration: A mapping from one writing system into another, typically done one character at a time using predictable rules. Transliteration into the Latin script used by English is known as romanization.
