FIGURE C.2 Some nonprintable characters in the Unicode character set

The first 128 characters of the Unicode character set correspond to the com-
mon ASCII character set. The first 256 characters correspond to the ISO-Latin-1
extended ASCII character set. Many operating systems and Web browsers will
handle these characters, but they may not be able to print the other Unicode
characters.
The Unicode character set contains most alphabets in use today, including
Greek, Hebrew, Cyrillic, and various Asian ideographs. It also includes Braille,
and several sets of symbols used in mathematics and music. Figure C.3 shows a
few characters from non-Western alphabets.
