Code Structure
JIS X 0208 codes are fundamentally two bytes of either seven or eight bits. However, one graphic character (図形文字, zukei moji?), “space”, and every control character (制御文字, seigyo moji?) is represented with a one-byte code. In order to represent code points, column/line numbers and kuten (区点?) numbers are used. For a way to identify a character without depending on a code, character names are used.

Famous quotes containing the words code and/or structure:
“Wise Draco comes, deep in the midnight roll
Of black artillery; he comes, though late;
In code corroborating Calvin’s creed
And cynic tyrannies of honest kings;
He comes, nor parlies; and the Town, redeemed,
Gives thanks devout; nor, being thankful, heeds
The grimy slur on the Republic’s faith implied,
Which holds that Man is naturally good,
And—more—is Nature’s Roman, never to be
scourged.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
“Man is more disposed to domination than freedom; and a structure of dominion not only gladdens the eye of the master who rears and protects it, but even its servants are uplifted by the thought that they are members of a whole, which rises high above the life and strength of single generations.”
—Karl Wilhelm Von Humboldt (1767–1835)
