character sssssset

[gj380@cleveland.Freenet.Edu (Adalbert Goertz)]

character set:

Can someone explaint to me what is meant by

7-bit character set and 8-bit character set.

The latter apparently is used to handle foreign characters.

Is there a way to handle 8-bit characters in the

Apple//GS world and how?

I am told the Netscape allows  8-bit characters.
