- <h3 class="section">Character Codes</h3> <p>The unibyte and multibyte text representations use different character codes. The valid character codes for unibyte representation range from 0 to <code>#xFF</code> (255)—the values that can fit in one byte. The valid character codes for multibyte representation range from 0 to <code>#x3FFFFF</code>. In this code space, values 0 through <code>#x7F</code> (127) are for <acronym>ASCII</acronym> characters, and values <code>#x80</code> (128) through <code>#x3FFF7F</code> (4194175) are for non-<acronym>ASCII</acronym> characters. </p> <p>Emacs character codes are a superset of the Unicode standard. Values 0 through <code>#x10FFFF</code> (1114111) correspond to Unicode characters of the same codepoint; values <code>#x110000</code> (1114112) through <code>#x3FFF7F</code> (4194175) represent characters that are not unified with Unicode; and values <code>#x3FFF80</code> (4194176) through <code>#x3FFFFF</code> (4194303) represent eight-bit raw bytes. </p> <dl> <dt id="characterp">Function: <strong>characterp</strong> <em>charcode</em>

-<p>This function returns the character whose Unicode name is <var>string</var>. If <var>ignore-case</var> is non-<code>nil</code>, case is ignored in <var>string</var>. This function returns <code>nil</code> if <var>string</var> does not name a character. </p> <div class="example"> <pre class="example">;; U+03A3

-</dt> <dd>
-<p>This function returns the byte at character position <var>pos</var> in the current buffer. If the current buffer is unibyte, this is literally the byte at that position. If the buffer is multibyte, byte values of <acronym>ASCII</acronym> characters are the same as character codepoints, whereas eight-bit raw bytes are converted to their 8-bit codes. The function signals an error if the character at <var>pos</var> is non-<acronym>ASCII</acronym>. </p> <p>The optional argument <var>string</var> means to get a byte value from that string instead of the current buffer. </p>
