= character, letter, script, sorts, sort, letter-form.

Ex. A fixed length field is a field which has the same length, that is, contains the same number of characters in each record.

Ex. There are only two sets of symbols whose orders are reasonably universally recognised: the letters of the Roman alphabet (either small or capitals), and Arabic numerals.

Ex. Schoolchildren, students, and other whose native language is written in a non-Roman script may find alphabetical order according to Roman characters an almost insurmountable hurdle in the use of catalogues and indexes.

là

/la/

Come l'italiano là, anche il suo equivalente inglese there è avverbio di stato in luogo o moto a luogo, e indica un punto lontano sia da chi parla sia da chi ascolta (in tal modo opponendosi a qui / here): i miei figli sono qui, i tuoi sono là = my children are here, yours are there. L'opposizione qui / là si ritrova nell'uso dei verbi andare e venire: venite qui = come here; andate là = go there. - Là, aggiunto a pronomi e aggettivi dimostrativi di terza persona, ne rafforza il valore indicativo: quel cane là = that dog (over) there; quello là = that one (there); là non viene però tradotto in inglese in un'espressione come quel giorno là = that day, che non ha implicazione di luogo ma di tempo. - Si noti che quando là è seguito da un altro avverbio di luogo ( là dentro, là fuori, là sopra, là sotto), negli equivalenti inglesi there non precede ma segue l'altro avverbio: in there, out there, over there, under there.

avverbio

1 (stato e moto) there; vai là go over there; qua e là here and there; là dentro, sopra in there, up there; eccoli là! there they are! chi va là? mil. who goes there? (rafforzativo) guarda là che confusione! look what a mess! quel giorno là that day; quelle persone là those people there; quell'aggeggio là that there contraption

2 di là (in un'altra stanza) in there, over there, in the other room; (moto) that way; (provenienza) from there; al di là di beyond; al di là dell'oceano on the other side of the ocean, over the ocean

3 in là andare o spingersi troppo in là to go too far; fare un passo in là to step aside; tirarsi o farsi in là colloq. to budge up o over; essere in là con gli anni to be getting on in years; più in là (nel tempo) later on

IDIOMS

essere più di là che di qua to be pretty far gone; ma va' là! you don't say! come on! di là da venire yet to come.
