Description: An area with a high number of species, which might be recognized on a global, regional or local scale.

character
1. A letter, digit , or other symbol that is used as part of the organization, control, or representation of data . (188 ) 2. One of the units of an alphabet . (188 )

Character
A letter, digit or other symbol that is used as the representation of data. A connected sequence of characters is called a character string.

Character
A written sign, a physical mark, a hole in a data tape, a magnetic pattern, an electric signal or any discontinuity of matter which can be read or recognized (see recognition ), is subject of computing and whose meaning depends on the combinatorial context of other characters. So a "o" has a meaning different from "1," but the meaning of the combination, "10," has nothing to do with either. In the binary system it means two and in the decimal system it means ten. Characters may become symbols through convention ally assigned meanings outside the recognition and computing process (see datum, measurement ). (Krippendorff )

character
The sum total of an individual's personality traits and the link between a person's values and her behavior.

character
one who is more less interesting, but out of the ordinary.

Character
In a screenplay, the name appears in all caps the first time a character is introduced in the "Action." The character's name can then be written normally, in the action, the rest of the script.
For Example: The limo pulls up to the curb. DAISY, an elderly woman sits in the car as MORGAN, the driver, steps out and opens the door for her. Daisy is dressed in evening-wear, ready for an Opera.

Character's names always appear in all CAPS when speaking. For proper margins, see the Format page.
For Example:

DAISY
You've been a darling, Morgan. Here's twenty dollars.

Henry David Thoreau
Dreams are the touchstone of our character.
  

James A. Froude
You cannot dream yourself into a character; you must hammer and forge yourself one.
  

Ralph W. Emerson
Judge of your natural character by what you do in your dreams.
  

Character
In the Quantitative Coding System, characters are divided into people, animals and mythical beings and they may be either an individual (one person, one animal, etc.) or a group of individuals. Characters are not "coded" if:

they are generic (everyone, no one, "dogs" bark, etc.)

they are mentioned only as a sign that they are not the character the dreamer is referring to ("it was not my sister who died, it was my mother")

or

the characters have only an implied participation in the dream ("I heard a pistol being fired").

Characters are classified according to four classes: Number, Identity, Gender and Age

Animals and mythical beings are classified only in numbers, not in gender, identity or age.
