How UTF-8 represents more than 256 characters and when to use UTF-16? @Unknown, it’s explained to some extent in @FiascoLabs’ answer (and on the page I linked to), but for more details, see What is UTF-8 by Markus Kuhn. In UTF-8, a code unit is an 8-bit byte, called “octet” in the Unicode Standard, and you use 1 byte for any character in the Ascii repertoire and 2, 3, or 4 bytes for any other character. |

Can CSS button code be copyrighted? Only human beings can create, in the copyright sense at least. If there is no creative act by a person, such as selecting options and setting parameters, then there is no created work and no copyright. |

Can CSS button code be copyrighted? “Fair use”, where it applies, is subject to interpretations and dispute. Any statement about “fair use” calls for arguments, instead of providing one. |

Is <a href=“#”>link</a> a broken link? Well, yes, the standard isn’t too clear about it, but it’s natural to assume that a referenced document is initially positioned at the start. Its predecessor RFC 2396 was more explicit: “4.2. Same-document References. A URI reference that does not contain a URI is a reference to the current document. In other words, an empty URI reference within a document is interpreted as a reference to the start of that document, and a reference containing only a fragment identifier is a reference to the identified fragment of that document.” |

Is <a href=“#”>link</a> a broken link? @DisgruntledGoat, it’s specified in Internet-standard STD 66, “Uniform Resource Identifier (URI): Generic Syntax”, clause 4.4. Same-Document Reference, available e.g. at tools.ietf.org/html/std66#section-4.4 |

mathML/HTML symbol for mathematical vector Whether and how it works depends on the font being used. |

Usable unicode for a “view” icon? Unicode is about encoding characters used in texts, though some characters of iconic nature have been encoded, too, as sufficient evidence has been found about their use in texts. Unicode does not encode abstract ideas, though. So you would need to specify which type of graphic character you are looking for. |
