Older versions of Windows,
such as Windows 98, rely on the American Standard
Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), an 8-bit
code that works well only for English. Unicode is the
standard character set used by newer versions of
Windows, although all versions of Windows can
still use ASCII characters when needed for compatibility
purposes.
Uniform Resource Identifier (URI)
A generic term for all names and addresses that reference
objects on the Internet. A URL is a specific
type of URI. See Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
A text representation of a specific location on the
Internet. URLs normally include the protocol (http://
for example), the target location (World Wide Web
or www), the domain or server name (mycompany),
and a domain type (com for commercial). (Many
URLs don??™t include the www portion of the address
anymore.) It can also include a hierarchical location
within that Web site. The URL usually specifies a
particular file on the Web server, although there are
some situations when a Web server will use a default
filename. For example, asking the browser to find
http://www.mycompany.
