A dependent vowel in an Indic script. It is the name for vowel letters that follow consonant letters in logical order. A matra often has a completely different letterform from that for the same phonological vowel used as an independent letter.

The longest code unit subsequence starting at an unconvertible offset that is either: a. the initial subsequence of a well-formed code unit sequence, or b. a subsequence of length one.
* The term maximal subpart of an ill-formed subsequence can be abbreviated to maximal subpart when it is clear in context that the subsequence in question is ill-formed.
* This definition can be trivially applied to the UTF-32 or UTF-16 encoding forms, but is primarily of interest when converting UTF-8 strings.
* For example, in the ill-formed UTF-8 sequence <41 C0 AF 41 F4 80 80 41>, there are two ill-formed subsequences: <C0 AF> and <F4 80 80>, each separated by <41>, which is well-formed. Applying the definition of maximal subparts for these ill-formed subsequences, in the first case <C0> is a maximal subpart, because that byte value can never be the first byte of a well-formed UTF-8 sequence. In the second subsequence, <F4 80 80> is a maximal subpart, because up to that point all three bytes match the specification for UTF-8. It is only when followed by <41> that the sequence of <F4 80 80> can be determined to be ill-formed, because the specification requires a following byte in the range 80..BF, instead.
The UTF-8 sequence <41 E0 9F 80 41> is ill-formed, because <9F> is not an allowed second byte of a UTF-8 sequence commencing with <E0>. In this case, there is an unconvertible offset at <E0> and the maximal subpart at that offset is also <E0>. The subsequence <E0 9F> cannot be a maximal subpart, because it is not an initial subsequence of any well-formed UTF-8 code unit sequence.

MIME is a standard that allows the embedding of arbitrary documents and other binary data of known types (images, sound, video, and so on) into e-mail handled by ordinary Internet electronic mail interchange protocols.
Industry:Computer; Software
A well-formed Unicode code unit sequence that maps to a single Unicode scalar value.
Industry:Computer; Software
The property of characters whose images are mirrored horizontally in text that is laid out from right to left (versus from left to right).
Industry:Computer; Software
A character with the Lm General Category in the Unicode Character Database. Modifier letters, which look like letters or punctuation, modify the pronunciation of other letters (similar to diacritics).

A phonological term: the unit of sound which determines syllable weight in some languages. Some syllabaries have characteristics which reflect moraic structure more or less exactly. In particular, the Japanese kana syllabaries actually write one character per mora, rather than one character per syllable. The Vai syllabary also counts final nasals as distinct moras, and writes moras instead of syllables.
