A C++ Concepts based character encoding and code point enumeration library.

This project is the reference implementation for proposal P0244 for the C++ standard.

This port of Text_view requires a C++17 conforming compiler that implements ISO/IEC technical specification 19217:2015, C++ Extensions for concepts . A port of Text_view that builds with C++11 conforming compilers is available at Text_view for range-v3.

For discussion of this project, please post and/or subscribe to the text_view@googlegroups.com group hosted at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/text_view

Overview

C++11 added support for new character types (N2249) and Unicode string literals (N2442), but neither C++11, nor more recent standards have provided means of efficiently and conveniently enumerating code points in Unicode or legacy encodings. While it is possible to implement such enumeration using interfaces provided in the standard <codecvt> library, doing to is awkward, requires that text be provided as pointers to contiguous memory, and inefficent due to virtual function call overhead (examples and data required to back up these assertions).

Text_view provides iterator and range based interfaces for encoding and decoding strings in a variety of character encodings. The interface is intended to support all modern and legacy character encodings, though this library does not yet provide implementations for legacy encodings.

An example usage follows. Note that \u00F8 (LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH STROKE) is encoded as UTF-8 using two code units (\xC3\xB8), but iterator based enumeration sees just the single code point.

using CT = utf8_encoding::character_type;
auto tv = make_text_view<utf8_encoding>(u8"J\u00F8erg is my friend");
auto it = tv.begin();
assert(*it++ == CT{0x004A}); // 'J'
assert(*it++ == CT{0x00F8}); // 'ø'
assert(*it++ == CT{0x0065}); // 'e'

The iterators and ranges that Text_view provides are compatible with the non-modifying sequence utilities provided by the standard C++ <algorithm> library. This enables use of standard algorithms to search encoded text.

it = std::find(tv.begin(), tv.end(), CT{0x00F8});
assert(it != tv.end());

The iterators provided by Text_view also provide access to the underlying code unit sequence.

auto base_it = it.base_range().begin();
assert(*base_it++ == '\xC3');
assert(*base_it++ == '\xB8');
assert(base_it == it.base_range().end());

Text_view ranges satisfy the requirements for use in C++11 range-based for statements with the removed same type restriction for the begin and end expressions provided by P0184R0 as adopted for C++17.

for (const auto &ch : tv) {
  ...
}

Current features and limitations

Text_view provides interfaces for the following:

  • Encoding and decoding of text for the encodings listed in supported encodings.
  • Encoding text using C++11 compliant output iterators.
  • Decoding text using input, forward, bidirectional, and random access iterators that are compliant with standard iterator requirements as specified in the ranges proposal.
  • Constructing view adapters for encoded text stored in arrays, containers, or std::basic_string, or referenced by another range or view. These view adapters meet the requirements for views in the ranges proposal.

Text_view does not currently provide interfaces for the following:

  • Transcoding of code points from one character set to another.
  • Iterators for grapheme clusters or other boundary conditions.
  • Collation.
  • Localization.
  • Internationalization.
  • Unicode code point properties.
  • Unicode normalization.

Requirements

Text_view requires a C++ compiler that implements ISO/IEC technical specification 19217:2015, C++ Extensions for concepts As of 2016-08-26, this specification is only supported by gcc release 6.2.0 or later. Additionally, Text_view depends on the cmcstl2 implementation of the ranges proposal for concept definitions.

Build and installation

This section provides instructions for building Text_view and suitable versions of its dependencies.

Building and installing gcc

Text_view requires gcc version 6.2.0 or later. The following commands can be used to perform a suitable build of the current in-development release of gcc on Linux if an installation of gcc 6.2.0 or later is not available. If you have an installation of gcc 6.2.0 or later available, then there is no need to build gcc yourself.

$ svn co svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk gcc-trunk-src
$ curl -O ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gmp/gmp-5.1.1.tar.bz2
$ curl -O ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpfr/mpfr-3.1.2.tar.bz2
$ curl -O ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/mpc/mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz
$ cd gcc-trunk-src
$ svn update -r 234230  # Optional command to select a known good gcc version
$ bzip2 -d -c ../gmp-5.1.1.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf -
$ mv gmp-5.1.1 gmp
$ bzip2 -d -c ../mpfr-3.1.2.tar.bz2 | tar -xvf -
$ mv mpfr-3.1.2 mpfr
$ tar -zxvf ../mpc-1.0.1.tar.gz
$ mv mpc-1.0.1 mpc
$ cd ..
$ mkdir gcc-trunk-build
$ cd gcc-trunk-build
$ LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/$(gcc -print-multiarch); export LIBRARY_PATH
$ CPATH=/usr/include/$(gcc -print-multiarch); export CPATH
$ ../gcc-trunk-src/configure \
  CC=gcc \
  CXX=g++ \
  --prefix $(pwd)/../gcc-trunk-install \
  --disable-multilib \
  --disable-bootstrap \
  --enable-languages=c,c++
$ make -j 4
$ make install
$ cd ..

When complete, the new gcc build will be present in the gcc-trunk-install directory.

Building and installing cmcstl2

Text_view only depends on headers provided by cmcstl2 and no build or installation is required. Text_view is known to build successfully with cmcstl2 git revision eb5ecdf79e22eb68c86cb62fd0912559593e5597. The following commands can be used to checkout a known good revision.

$ git clone https://github.com/CaseyCarter/cmcstl2.git cmcstl2
$ cd cmcstl2
$ git checkout eb5ecdf79e22eb68c86cb62fd0912559593e5597

Building and installing Text_view

Text_view has a CMake based build system sufficient to build and run its tests, to validate example code, and to perform a minimal installation following established operating system conventions. By default, files will be installed under /usr/local on UNIX and UNIX-like systems, and under C:\Program Files on Windows. The installation location can be changed by invoking cmake with a -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<path> option. On UNIX and UNIX-like systems, header files will be installed in the include directory of the installation destination, and other files will be installed under share/text_view. On Windows, header files be installed in the text_view\include directory of the installation destination, and other files will be installed under text_view.

Unless cmcstl2 is installed to a common location, it will be necessary to inform the build where it is installed. This is typically done by setting the CMCSTL2_INSTALL_PATH environment variable. As of this writing, cmcstl2 does not provide an installation option, so CMCSTL2_INSTALL_PATH should specify the location where the cmcstl2 source resides (the directory that contains the cmcstl2 include directory).

The following commands suffice to build and run tests and examples, and perform an installation. If the build succeeds, built test and example programs will be present in the test and examples subdirectories of the build directory (the built test and example programs are not installed), and header files, example code, cmake package configuration modules, and other miscellaneous files will be present in the installation directory.

$ vi setenv.sh  # Update GCC_INSTALL_PATH and CMCSTL2_INSTALL_PATH.
$ . ./setenv.sh
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. [-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/install/to]
$ cmake --build . --target install
$ ctest

check and check-install CMake targets are also available for automating build and test. The check target performs a build without installation and then runs the tests. The check-install target performs a build, runs tests, installs to a location within the build directory, and then performs tests (verifying that example code builds) on the installation.

The installation includes a CMake based build system for building the example code. To build all of the examples, run cmake specifying the examples directory of the installation as the source directory. Alternatively, each example can be built independently by specifying its source directory as the source directory in a cmake invocation. If the installation was to a non-default installation location (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was specified), then it may be necessary to set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the Text_view installation location (the location CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was set to) or text_view_DIR to the directory containing the installed text_view-config.cmake file, so that the Text_view package configuration file is found. See the CMake documentation for more details.

The following commands suffice to build all of the installed examples.

$ cd /path/to/installation/text_view/examples
$ mkdir build
$ cd build
$ cmake .. [-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/installation]
$ cmake --build .
$ ctest

Usage

To use Text_view in your own code, perform a build and installation as described above, add include paths for the text_view/include and cmcstl2 installation locations, add a library search path for the text_view/lib directory, include the text_view header file in your sources, and link the text_view library with your executable.

#include <experimental/text_view>

Text_view installations include a CMake package configuration file suitable for use in CMake based projects. To use it, specify text_view as the <package> argument to find_package in your CMake file and add invocations of target_link_libraries for each relevant target with the <lib> argument set to text-view. This will automatically apply compiler and linker options required to use Text_view to each target. See the CMakeLists.txt files for the utilities under the examples directory for reference. If Text_view was installed to a non-default installation location (-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was specified), then it may be necessary to set CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH to the Text_view installation location (the location CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX was set to) or text_view_DIR to the directory containing the installed text_view-config.cmake file, so that the Text_view package configuration file is found. It is also possible to use the build directory as a (non-relocatable) installation directory by setting The CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or text_view_DIR variables appropriately. See the CMake documentation for more details. The CMakeLists.txt files provided with the installed examples exemplify a minimal CMake based build system for a downstream consumer of Text_view.

All interfaces intended for public use are declared in the std::experimental::text namespace. The text namespace is an inline namespace, so all entities are available from the std::experimental namespace itself.

The interface descriptions in the sections that follow use the concept names from the ranges proposal, are intended to be used as specification, and should be considered authoritative. Any differences in behavior as defined by these definitions as compared to the Text_view implementation are unintentional and should be considered indicatative of a defect in either the specification or the implementation.

Concepts

Concept CodeUnit

The CodeUnit concept specifies requirements for a type usable as the code unit type of a string type.

template<typename T> concept bool CodeUnit() {
  return /* implementation-defined */ ;
}

CodeUnit<T>() is satisfied if and only if std::is_integral<T>::value is true and at least one of std::is_unsigned<T>::value is true, std::is_same<std::remove_cv_t<T>, char>::value is true, or std::is_same<std::remove_cv_t<T>, wchar_t>::value is true.

Concept CodePoint

The CodePoint concept specifies requirements for a type usable as the code point type of a character set type.

template<typename T> concept bool CodePoint() {
  return /* implementation-defined */ ;
}

CodePoint<T>() is satisfied if and only if std::is_integral<T>::value is true and at least one of std::is_unsigned<T>::value is true, std::is_same<std::remove_cv_t<T>, char>::value is true, or std::is_same<std::remove_cv_t<T>, wchar_t>::value is true.

Concept CharacterSet

The CharacterSet concept specifies requirements for a type that describes a character set. Such a type has a member typedef-name declaration for a type that satisfies CodePoint, a static member function that returns a name for the character set, and a static member function that returns a code point value to be used to construct a substitution character to stand in when errors occur during encoding and decoding operations when the permissive error policy is in effect.

template<typename T> concept bool CharacterSet() {
  return CodePoint<code_point_type_t<T>>()
      && requires () {
           { T::get_name() } noexcept -> const char *;
           { T::get_substitution_code_point() } noexcept -> code_point_type_t<T>;
         };
}

Concept Character

The Character concept specifies requirements for a type that describes a character as defined by an associated character set. Non-static member functions provide access to the code point value of the described character. Types that satisfy Character are regular and copyable.

template<typename T> concept bool Character() {
  return ranges::Regular<T>()
      && ranges::Constructible<T, code_point_type_t<character_set_type_t<T>>>()
      && CharacterSet<character_set_type_t<T>>()
      && requires (T t,
                   const T ct,
                   code_point_type_t<character_set_type_t<T>> cp)
         {
           { t.set_code_point(cp) } noexcept;
           { ct.get_code_point() } noexcept
               -> code_point_type_t<character_set_type_t<T>>;
           { ct.get_character_set_id() }
               -> character_set_id;
         };
}

Concept CodeUnitIterator

The CodeUnitIterator concept specifies requirements of an iterator that has a value type that satisfies CodeUnit.

template<typename T> concept bool CodeUnitIterator() {
  return ranges::Iterator<T>()
      && CodeUnit<ranges::value_type_t<T>>();
}

Concept CodeUnitOutputIterator

The CodeUnitOutputIterator concept specifies requirements of an output iterator that can be assigned from a type that satisfies CodeUnit.

template<typename T, typename V> concept bool CodeUnitOutputIterator() {
  return ranges::OutputIterator<T, V>()
      && CodeUnit<V>();

Character sets

Class any_character_set

The any_character_set class provides a generic character set type used when a specific character set type is unknown or when the ability to switch between specific character sets is required. This class satisfies the CharacterSet concept and has an implementation defined code_point_type that is able to represent code point values from all of the implementation provided character set types.

    return "any_character_set";
  }

  static constexpr code_point_type get_substitution_code_point() noexcept;
};

};

Character set type aliases

The execution_character_set, execution_wide_character_set, and universal_character_set type aliases reflect the implementation defined execution, wide execution, and universal character sets specified in [lex.charset]p2-3 of the C++ standard.

The character set aliased by execution_character_set must be a superset of the basic_execution_character_set character set. This alias refers to the character set that the compiler assumes during translation; the character set that the compiler uses when translating characters specified by universal-character-name designators in ordinary string literals, not the locale sensitive run-time execution character set.

The character set aliased by execution_wide_character_set must be a superset of the basic_execution_wide_character_set character set. This alias refers to the character set that the compiler assumes during translation; the character set that the compiler uses when translating characters specified by universal-character-name designators in wide string literals, not the locale sensitive run-time execution wide character set.

The character set aliased by universal_character_set must be a superset of the unicode_character_set character set.

using execution_wide_character_set = /* implementation-defined */ ;

Class character_set_id

The character_set_id class provides unique, opaque values used to identify character sets at run-time. Values of this type are produced by get_character_set_id() and can be passed to get_character_set_info() to obtain character set information. Values of this type are copy constructible, copy assignable, equality comparable, and strictly totally ordered.

class character_set_id {
public:
  character_set_id() = delete;

  friend bool operator==(character_set_id lhs, character_set_id rhs) noexcept;
  friend bool operator!=(character_set_id lhs, character_set_id rhs) noexcept;

  friend bool operator<(character_set_id lhs, character_set_id rhs) noexcept;
  friend bool operator>(character_set_id lhs, character_set_id rhs) noexcept;
  friend bool operator<=(character_set_id lhs, character_set_id rhs) noexcept;
  friend bool operator>=(character_set_id lhs, character_set_id rhs) noexcept;

template<CharacterSet CST>
  inline character_set_id get_character_set_id();

Character set information

Class character_set_info

The character_set_info class stores information about a character set. Values of this type are produced by the get_character_set_info() functions based on a character set type or ID.

class character_set_info {
public:
  character_set_info() = delete;

  character_set_id get_id() const noexcept;

  const char* get_name() const noexcept;

private:
  character_set_id id; // exposition only
};

const character_set_info& get_character_set_info(character_set_id id);

template<CharacterSet CST>
  inline const character_set_info& get_character_set_info();

Characters

Class template character

Objects of character class template specialization type define a character via the association of a code point value and a character set. The specialization provided for the any_character_set type is used to maintain a dynamic character set association while specializations for other character sets specify a static association. These types satisfy the Character concept and are default constructible, copy constructible, copy assignable, and equality comparable. Member functions provide access to the code point and character set ID values for the represented character. Default constructed objects represent a null character using a zero initialized code point value.

Objects with different character set type are not equality comparable with the exception that objects with a static character set type of any_character_set are comparable with objects with any static character set type. In this case, objects compare equally if and only if their character set ID and code point values match. Equality comparison between objects with different static character set type is not implemented to avoid potentially costly unintended implicit transcoding between character sets.

Encoding type aliases

The execution_character_encoding, execution_wide_character_encoding, char8_character_encoding, char16_character_encoding, and char32_character_encoding type aliases reflect the implementation defined encodings used for execution, wide execution, UTF-8, char16_t, and char32_t string literals.

Each of these encodings carries a compatibility requirement with another encoding. Decode compatibility is satisfied when the following criteria is met.

  1. Text encoded by the compatibility encoding can be decoded by the aliased encoding.
  2. Text encoded by the aliased encoding can be decoded by the compatibility encoding when encoded characters are restricted to members of the character set of the compatibility encoding.

These compatibility requirements allow implementation freedom to use encodings that provide features beyond the minimum requirements imposed on the compatibility encodings by the standard. For example, the encoding aliased by execution_character_encoding is allowed to support characters that are not members of the character set of the basic_execution_character_encoding

The encoding aliased by execution_character_encoding must be decode compatible with the basic_execution_character_encoding encoding.

The encoding aliased by execution_wide_character_encoding must be decode compatible with the basic_execution_wide_character_encoding encoding.

Text iterators

Class template itext_iterator

Objects of itext_iterator class template specialization type provide a standard iterator interface for enumerating the characters encoded by the associated encoding ET in the code unit sequence exposed by the associated view. These types satisfy the TextInputIterator concept and are default constructible, copy and move constructible, copy and move assignable, and equality comparable.

These types also conditionally satisfy ranges::ForwardIterator, ranges::BidirectionalIterator, and ranges::RandomAccessIterator depending on traits of the associated encoding ET and view VT as described in the following table.

When ET and ranges::iterator_t<VT> satisfy ... then itext_iterator<ET, VT> satisfies ... and itext_iterator<ET, VT>::iterator_category is ...
ranges::InputIterator<ranges::iterator_t<VT>> &&
! ranges::ForwardIterator<ranges::iterator_t<VT>> &&
TextForwardDecoder<ET, /* implementation-defined */ >
(With an internal adapter to provide forward iterator semantics over the input iterator)
ranges::InputIterator std::input_iterator_tag
TextForwardDecoder<ET, ranges::iterator_t<VT>> ranges::ForwardIterator std::forward_iterator_tag
TextBidirectionalDecoder<ET, ranges::iterator_t<VT>> ranges::BidirectionalIterator std::bidirectional_iterator_tag
TextRandomAccessDecoder<ET, ranges::iterator_t<VT>> ranges::RandomAccessIterator std::random_access_iterator_tag

Member functions provide access to the stored encoding state, the underlying code unit iterator, and the underlying code unit range for the current character. The underlying code unit range is returned with an implementation defined type that satisfies ranges::View. The is_ok member function returns true if the iterator is dereferenceable as a result of having successfully decoded a code point (This predicate is used to distinguish between an input iterator that just successfully decoded the last code point in the code unit stream as compared to one that was advanced after having done so; in both cases, the underlying code unit input iterator will compare equal to the end iterator).

The error_occurred and get_error member functions enable retrieving information about errors that occurred during decoding operations. if a call to error_occurred returns false, then it is guaranteed that a dereference operation will not throw an exception; assuming a non-singular iterator that is not past the end.

The look_ahead_range member function is provided only when the underlying code unit iterator is an input iterator; it provides access to code units that were read from the code unit iterator, but were not (yet) used to decode a character. Generally such look ahead only occurs when an invalid code unit sequence is encountered.

itext_iterator is a proxy iterator since the value type is computed and a meaningful reference type cannot be provided for the dereference and subscript operators. The reference member type is an alias of an implementation defined proxy reference type, must satisfy Character, and must support implicit conversion to const value_type&.

Note: Implementation of a reference proxy would be simplified if the operator dot proposal is adopted.

Text view

Class template basic_text_view

Objects of basic_text_view class template specialization type provide a view of an underlying code unit sequence as a sequence of characters. These types satisfy the TextView concept and are default constructible, copy and move constructible, and copy and move assignable. Member functions provide access to the underlying code unit sequence and the initial encoding state for the range.

Constructors are provided to construct objects of these types from objects of the underlying code unit view type and from iterator and sentinel pairs, iterator and difference pairs, and range or std::basic_string types for which an object of the underlying code unit view type can be constructed. For each of these, overloads are provided to construct the view with an explicit encoding state or with an implicit initial encoding state provided by the encoding ET.

The end of the view is represented with a sentinel type when the end of the underlying code unit view is represented with a sentinel type or when the encoding ET is a stateful encoding; otherwise, the end of the view is represented with an iterator of the same type as used for the beginning of the view.

Text view type aliases

The text_view, wtext_view, u8text_view, u16text_view and u32text_view type aliases reference an implementation defined specialization of basic_text_view for all five of the encodings the standard states must be provided.

The implementation defined view type used for the underlying code unit view type must satisfy ranges::View and provide iterators of pointer to the underlying code unit type to contiguous storage. The intent in providing these type aliases is to minimize instantiations of the basic_text_view and itext_iterator class templates by encouraging use of common view types with underlying code unit views that reference contiguous storage, such as views into objects with a type instantiated from std::basic_string.

It is permissible for the text_view and u8text_view type aliases to reference the same type. This will be the case when the execution character encoding is UTF-8. Attempts to overload functions based on text_view and u8text_view will result in multiple function definition errors on such implementations.

using text_view = basic_text_view<
          execution_character_encoding,
          /* implementation-defined */ >;
using wtext_view = basic_text_view<
          execution_wide_character_encoding,

using u32text_view = basic_text_view<
          char32_character_encoding,
          /* implementation-defined */ >;

make_text_view

The make_text_view functions enable convenient construction of basic_text_view objects via implicit selection of a view type for the underlying code unit sequence.

When provided iterators or ranges for contiguous storage, these functions return a basic_text_view specialization type that uses the same implementation defined view type as for the basic_text_view type aliases as discussed in Text view type aliases.

Overloads are provided to construct basic_text_view objects from iterator and sentinel pairs, iterator and difference pairs, and range or std::basic_string objects. For each of these overloads, additional overloads are provided to construct the view with an explicit encoding state or with an implicit initial encoding state provided by the encoding ET. Each of these overloads requires that the encoding type be explicitly specified.

Additional overloads are provided to construct the view from iterator and sentinel pairs that satisfy TextInputIterator and objects of a type that satisfies TextView. For these overloads, the encoding type is deduced and the encoding state is implicitly copied from the arguments.

If make_text_view is invoked with an rvalue range, then the lifetime of the returned object and all copies of it must end with the full-expression that the make_text_view invocation is within. Otherwise, the returned object or its copies will hold iterators into a destructed object resulting in undefined behavior.

Terminology

The terminology used in this document and in the Text_view library has been chosen to be consistent with industry standards and, in particular, the Unicode standard. Any inconsistencies in the use of this terminology and that in the Unicode standard is unintentional. The terms described in this document and used within the Text_view library comprise a subset of the terminology used within the Unicode standard; only those terms necessary to specify functionality exhibited by this library are included here. Those who would like to learn more about general text processing terminology in computer systems are encouraged to read chatper 2, "General Structure" of the Unicode standard.

Code Unit

A single, indivisible, integral element of an encoded sequence of characters. A sequence of one or more code units specifies a code point or encoding state transition as defined by a character encoding. A code unit does not, by itself, identify any particular character or code point; the meaning ascribed to a particular code unit value is derived from a character encoding definition.

The C++11 char, wchar_t, char16_t, and char32_t types are most commonly used as code unit types.

The string literal u8"J\u00F8erg" contains 7 code units and 6 code unit sequences; "\u00F8" is encoded using two code units and string literals contain a trailing NUL code unit.

The string literal "J\u00F8erg" contains an implementation defined number of code units. The standard does not specify the encoding of ordinary and wide string literals, so the number of code units encoded by "\u00F8" depends on the implementation defined encoding used for ordinary string literals.

Code Point

An integral value denoting an abstract character as defined by a character set. A code point does not, by itself, identify any particular character; the meaning ascribed to a particular code point value is derived from a character set definition.

The C++11 char, wchar_t, char16_t, and char32_t types are most commonly used as code point types.

The string literal u8"J\u00F8erg" describes a sequence of 6 code point values; string literals implicitly specify a trailing NUL code point.

The string literal "J\u00F8erg" describes a sequence of an implementation defined number of code point values. The standard does not specify the encoding of ordinary and wide string literals, so the number of code points encoded by "\u00F8" depends on the implementation defined encoding used for ordinary string literals. Implementations are permitted to translate a single code point in the source or Unicode character sets to multiple code points in the execution encoding.

Character Set

A mapping of code point values to abstract characters. A character set need not provide a mapping for every possible code point value representable by the code point type.

C++11 does not specify the use of any particular character set or encoding for ordinary and wide character and string literals, though it does place some restrictions on them. Unicode character and string literals are governed by the Unicode standard.

Common character sets include ASCII, Unicode, and Windows code page 1252.

Character

An element of written language, for example, a letter, number, or symbol. A character is identified by the combination of a character set and a code point value.

Encoding

A method of representing a sequence of characters as a sequence of code unit sequences.

An encoding may be stateless or stateful. In stateless encodings, characters may be encoded or decoded starting from the beginning of any code unit sequence. In stateful encodings, it may be necessary to record certain affects of previously encoded characters in order to correctly encode additional characters, or to decode preceding code unit sequences in order to correctly decode following code unit sequences.

An encoding may be fixed width or variable width. In fixed width encodings, all characters are encoded using a single code unit sequence and all code unit sequences have the same length. In variable width encodings, different characters may require multiple code unit sequences, or code unit sequences of varying length.

An encoding may support bidirectional or random access decoding of code unit sequences. In bidirectional encodings, characters may be decoded by traversing code unit sequences in reverse order. Such encodings must support a method to identify the start of a preceding code unit sequence. In random access encodings, characters may be decoded from any code unit sequence within the sequence of code unit sequences, in constant time, without having to decode any other code unit sequence. Random access encodings are necessarily stateless and fixed length. An encoding that is neither bidirectional, nor random access, may only be decoded by traversing code unit sequences in forward order.

An encoding may support encoding characters from multiple character sets. Such an encoding is either stateful and defines code unit sequences that switch the active character set, or defines code unit sequences that implicitly identify a character set, or both.

A trivial encoding is one in which all encoded characters correspond to a single character set and where each code unit encodes exactly one character using the same value as the code point for that character. Such an encoding is stateless, fixed width, and supports random access decoding.

Common encodings include the Unicode UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 encodings, the ISO/IEC 8859 series of encodings including ISO/IEC 8859-1, and many trivial encodings such as Windows code page 1252.
