Method for representing character by combination code through XML

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for using XML to indicate characters by combination codes. Combination codes are used to display a plurality of independent-coding graphic characters, so as to lead the traditional character display method based on one code corresponding to one bitmap to be more flexible. The combination code works as an independent code, does not store characters, and only stores code information of reference characters, so that a plurality of existing independent codes can be utilized to combine to a new character, and new character creation is not needed, thereby improving the flexibility of character combination and reducing the labor of character creation repetition.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a coding method for displaying characters, more specifically, it relates to a method of using Extensible Markup Language (referred to as XML) to refer to multiple individual character codes and combine them into one character with independent codes. Background technique [0002] There are currently two ways to display characters, one is based on bitmap font (bitmap font) display, and the other is based on vector font (outline font) display. In the display method based on bitmap fonts, characters are stored as bitmap information, which is stored in a binary matrix composed of 0 and 1, and each bitmap has a unique code corresponding to it . In an electronic device, a character is processed and displayed in units of codes, or in other words, in units of a single bitmap. After the electronic device obtains the code, it obtains the corresponding bitmap according to the code, and then outputs the binary matrix storing the b...

Problems solved by technology

Traditionally, the display method based on one code corresponding to one bitmap and one bitmap saving one character lacks flexibility and has been difficult to meet special display requirements such as highlighting or wrapping multiple characters as a whole

If multiple existing traditional bitmaps are spliced ​​into one bitmap and then encoded (that is, one code corresponds to one bitmap and one bitmap stores multiple characters), although it can still meet the requirements of overall highlighting or overall folding Lines and other special display requirements, but it will cause waste of resources and duplication of re-creation of characters
