- Character Set -

In Erlang 4.8/OTP R5A the syntax of Erlang tokens was extended to - allow the use of the full ISO-8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. This - is noticeable in the following ways:

- - -

All the Latin-1 printable characters can be used and are - shown without the escape backslash convention.

- - -

Atoms and variables can use all Latin-1 letters.

- - - - - Octal - Decimal -   - Class - - - 200 - 237 - 128 - 159 -   - Control characters - - - 240 - 277 - 160 - 191 - - ¿ - Punctuation characters - - - 300 - 326 - 192 - 214 - À - Ö - Uppercase letters - - - 327 - 215 - × - Punctuation character - - - 330 - 336 - 216 - 222 - Ø - Þ - Uppercase letters - - - 337 - 366 - 223 - 246 - ß - ö - Lowercase letters - - - 367 - 247 - ÷ - Punctuation character - - - 370 - 377 - 248 - 255 - ø - ÿ - Lowercase letters - - Character Classes. -

In Erlang/OTP R16 the syntax of Erlang tokens was extended to - handle Unicode. To begin with the support is limited to strings, - but Erlang/OTP R18 is expected to handle Unicode atoms as well. - More about the usage of Unicode in Erlang source files can be - found in STDLIB's User'S - Guide. The default encoding for Erlang source files - is still Latin-1, but in Erlang/OTP R17 the default encoding - will be UTF-8. The details on how to state the encoding of an - Erlang source file can be found in epp(3).
