From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source
A character is an atomic unit of text as specified by ISO/IEC 10646 . Legal characters are tab, carriage return, line feed, and the legal characters of Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646. The versions of these standards cited in were current at the time this document was prepared. New characters may be added to these standards by amendments or new editions. Consequently, XML processors MUST accept any character in the range specified for Char.

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source
A member of a set of identifiers used for the organization, control or representation of text. ISO/IEC Standard 10646-1:1993 uses the word `data' here instead of `text'.A data type in SGML and XML for raw data that does not include markup or entity references. Attributes of type CDATA may contain entity references. These are expanded by an XML processor before the attribute value is processed as CDATA.Distance between the baseline and bottom edge of the character glyph or expression. Also known as the descent.Distance between the baseline and top edge of the character glyph or expression. Also known as the ascent.Horizontal distance taken by the character glyph as indicated in the font metrics, or the total width of an expression.

From The Platform for Privacy Preferences 1.0 (P3P1.0) Specification (2002-04-16) | Glossary for this source
Strings consist of a sequence of zero or more characters, where a character is defined as in the XML Recommendation [XML]. A single character in P3P thus corresponds to a single Unicode abstract character with a single corresponding Unicode scalar value (see [UNICODE]).

From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.0 (2000-10-06) | Glossary for this source
A character is an atomic unit of text as specified by ISO/IEC 10646 [E67](see also ). Legal characters are tab, carriage return, line feed, and the legal [E35]graphic characters of Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646. [E69]The versions of these standards cited in were current at the time this document was prepared. New characters may be added to these standards by amendments or new editions. Consequently, XML processors must accept any character in the range specified for Char. The use of compatibility characters, as defined in section 6.8 of [E67](see also D21 in section 3.6 of ), is discouraged.

- character encoding
-
From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source
A "character encoding" is a mapping from a character set definition to the actual code units used to represent the data. Refer to the Unicode specification [UNICODE] for more information about character encodings. Refer to "Character Model for the World Wide Web" [CHARMOD] for additional information about characters and character encodings.

From XSL Transformations (XSLT) 2.0 (2007-01-23) | Glossary for this source
A character map allows a specific character appearing in a text or attribute node in the final result tree to be substituted by a specified string of characters during serialization.

-
From Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (2004-02-04) | Glossary for this source

- document character set
-
From User Agent Accessibility Guidelines 1.0 (2002-12-17) | Glossary for this source
In this document, a document character set (a concept from SGML) is a collection of abstract characters that a format specification allows to appear in an instance of the format. A document character set consists of: A "repertoire": A set of abstract characters, such as the Latin letter "A," the Cyrillic letter "I," and the Chinese character meaning "water."Code positions: A set of integer references to characters in the repertoire. For instance, the character set required by the HTML 4 specification [HTML4] is defined in the Unicode specification [UNICODE]. Refer to "Character Model for the World Wide Web" [CHARMOD] for more information about document character sets.

From Mathematical Markup Language (MathML) Version 2.0 (2001-02-21) | Glossary for this source
An SGML/XML data type for raw data occurring in a context where text is parsed and markup (for instance entity references and element start/end tags) is recognized.
