Everything you press on a keyboard is translated into machine language. That’s how the letters on the screen appear: you tell the keyboard what you want to type by pressing keys, and the computer will display that stuff on the screen *if* the computer knows how to display it.

Everytime you tell the computer to show you a certain character, what actually happens is that you’re asking the computer to display a picture that matches a certain code. The codes for each character are agreed upon all over the world by dorks and nerds and are called Standards.

A person with no Standards might end up married to someone with no Character.

If the computer or website does not accept certain character codes, then the computer or website will not display those characters.
