Abstract
A system, method and computer program product are provided for compression of characters. Initially, characters are received after which a mathematical representation for the characters is selected based on a desired level of compression quality of the characters. Such characters are then represented using the selected mathematical representation so that the mathematical representation of the characters may be compressed.
