4. The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018)
character

    A letter of some alphabet (either upper case or
   lower case), a digit, a punctuation or other symbol or a
   control character.  In a computer, a character is
   represented as an integer.  What character is represented by
   what integer is determined by the current character set.
   For example, in the ASCII character set, "A" is 65.  These
   integers are then stored as a sequence of bytes according to
   a character encoding.

   The character set and encoding is usually implicit in the
   environment in which the character is being interpreted but it
   may be specified explicitly, e.g. to convert input to some
   standard internal representation.

   A sequence of characters is a (character) string.

   Compare with glyph.

5. Bouvier's Law Dictionary, Revised 6th Ed (1856)
CHARACTER, evidence. The opinion generally entertained of a person derived 
from the common re 'port of the people who are acquainted with him. 3 Serg. 
& R. 336; 3 Mass. 192; 3 Esp. C. 236. 
     2. There are three classes of cases on which the moral character and 
conduct of a person in society may be used in proof before a jury, each 
resting upon particular and distinct grounds. Such evidence is admissible, 
1st. To afford a presumption that a particular party has not been guilty of 
a criminal act. 2d. To affect the damages in particular cases, where their 
amount depends on the character and conduct of any individual; and, 3d. To 
impeach or confirm the veracity of a witness. 
     3.-1. Where the guilt of an accused party is doubtful, and the 
character of the supposed agent is involved in the question, a presumption 
of innocence arises from his former conduct in society, as evidenced by his 
general character, since it is not probable that a person of known probity 
and humanity, would commit a dishonest or outrageous act in the particular 
instance. Such presumptions, however, are so remote from fact, and it is 
frequently so difficult to estimate a person's real character, that 
they are entitled to little weight, except in doubtful cases. Since the law 
considers a presumption of this nature to be admissible, it is in principle 
admissible 'Whenever a reasonable presumption arises from it, as to the fact 
in question; in practice it is admitted whenever the character of the party 
is involved in the issue. See 2 St. Tr. 1038 1 Coxes Rep. 424; 5 Serg. & R. 
352 3 Bibb, R. 195; 2 Bibb, R. 286; 5 Day, R. 260; 5 Esp. C. 13; 3 Camp. C. 
519; 1 Camp. C. 460; Str. R. 925. Tha. Cr. Cas. 230; 5 Port. 382. 
     4.-2. In some instances evidence in disparagement of character is 
admissible, not in order to prove or disprove the commission of a particular 
fact, but with a view to damages. In actions for criminal conversation with 
the plaintiff's wife, evidence may be given of the wife's general bad 
character, for want of chastity, and even of particular acts of adultery 
committed by her, previous to her intercourse with the defendant. B. N. P. 
27, 296; 12 Mod. 232; 3 Esp. C. 236. See 5 Munf. 10. In actions for slander 
and libel, when the defendant has not justified, evidence of the plaintiff's 
bad character has also been admitted. 3 Camp. C. 251; 1 M. & S. 284; 2 Esp. 
C. 720; 2 Nott & M'Cord, 511; 1 Nott & M'Cord, 268; and see 11 Johns. R. 38; 
1 Root, R. 449; 1 Johns. R. 46; 6 Penna. St. Rep. 170. The ground of 
admitting such evidence is, that a person of disparaged fame is not entitled 
to the same measure of damages with one whose character is unblemished. 
When, however, the defendant justifies the slander, it seems to be doubtful 
whether the evidence of reports as to the conduct and character of the 
plaintiff can be received. See 1 M. & S. 286, n (a) 3 Mass. R. 553 1 Pick. 
R. 19. When evidence is admitted touching the general character of a party, 
it is manifest that it is to be confined to matters in reference to the 
nature of the, charge against him. 2 Wend. 352. 
     5.-3. The party against whom a witness is called, may disprove the 
fact& stated by him, or may examine other witnesses as to his general 
character; but they will not be allowed to speak of particular facts or 
parts of his conduct. B. N. P. 296. For example, evidence of the general 
character of a prosecutrix for a rape, may be given, as that she was a 
street walker; but evidence of specific acts of criminality cannot be 
admitted. 3 Carr. & P. 589. The regular mode is to inquire whether the 
witness under examination has the means of knowing the former witness 
general character, and whether from such knowledge he would believe, him on 
his oath. 4 St. Tr. 693; 4 Esp. C. 102. In answer to such evidence against 
character, the other party may cross-examine the witness as to his means of 
knowledge, and the grounds of his opinion; or he may attack such witness 
general character, and by fresh evidence support the character of his own. 2 
Stark. C. 151; Id. 241; St. Ev. pt. 4, 1753 to 1758; 1 Phil. Ev. 229. A 
party cannot give evidence to confirm the good character of a witness, 
unless his general character has been impugned by his antagonist. 9 Watts, 
R. 124. See, in general, as to character, Phil. Ev. Index, tit. Character; 
Stark. Ev. pl. 4, 364 Swift's Ev. 140 to 144 5 Ohio R. 227; Greenl. Ev. Sec. 
54; 3 Hill, R. 178 Bouv. Inst. Index, h.t.
