Abstract
A system identifies a character code. This character code may be received from keyboard entry, read from memory, or acquired from an external network, for example. This character code can comprise an arrangement of bytes. Each byte can be identified as a group, plane, row, or cell. The row and plane values of the character code can be mapped to corresponding row and plane values of an optimized character code. Character attributes associated with each optimized character code can be accessed. The row and plane values of optimized character codes can be mapped to corresponding row and plane values of character codes.

A method for associating a character code with an optimized character code, the optimized character code having a corresponding attribute set, the method comprising:
- receiving a character code having a string of bits;
- identifying a first subset of bits in the character code, wherein the first subset of bits identifies a first row;
- and
- mapping the first row to a second row associated with an optimized character code in an optimized character code index, wherein mapping the first row identifies an optimized character code for the received character code.
A method for associating a character code with an optimized character code, the optimized character code having a corresponding attribute set, the method comprising:
- receiving a character code having a string of bits;
- identifying a first subset of bits in the character code, wherein the first subset of bits identifies a first row;
- identifying a second subset of bits in the character code, wherein the second subset of bits identifies a first plane;
- mapping the first plane to a second plane associated with the optimized character code in the optimized character code index;
- and
- mapping the first row to a second row associated with an optimized character code in an optimized character code index, wherein mapping the first plane and the first row identifies an optimized character code for the received character code.
A computer program product comprising a machine readable medium on which is provided program instructions for associating a character code with an optimized character code, the optimized character code having a corresponding attribute set, the computer program product comprising:
- computer code for receiving a character code having a string of bits;
- computer code for identifying a first subset of bits in the character code, wherein the first subset of bits identifies a first row;
- and
- computer code for mapping the first row to a second row associated with an optimized character code in an optimized character code index, wherein mapping the first row identifies an optimized character code for the received character code.
An apparatus for associating a character code with an optimized character code, the optimized character code having a corresponding attribute set, the computer program product comprising:
- memory;
- an input mechanism for receiving a character code;
- one or more processors coupled with the memory, the processors configured to identify a first subset of bits in the character code, wherein the first subset of bits identifies a first row and map the first row to a second row associated with an optimized character code in the optimized character code index, wherein mapping the first row identifies an optimized character code for the received character code.
An apparatus for associating a character code with an optimized character code, the optimized character code having a corresponding attribute set, the method comprising:
- means for receiving a character code having a string of bits;
- means for identifying a first subset of bits in the character code, wherein the first subset of bits identifies a first row;
- and
- means for mapping the first row to a second row associated with an optimized character code in an optimized character code index, wherein mapping the first row identifies an optimized character code for the received character code.
