A coded character set should be considered to be an agreement between
two or more of the following parties:
the programming language processor that converts a particular character
specification into a binary bit pattern
the font-drawing (or dotmatrix-selection) software in the output
device on which the bit pattern will be ultimately be translated
into a visual character form
the input device from which the bit pattern will be expected to
be generated in response to selection of that character
The solutions must thus be addressed to two or more of these areas.
