|
|
<dd>The base unit of a <code>DOMString</code>. This indicates that
|
|
indexing on a <code>DOMString</code> occurs in units of 16 bits.
|
|
This must not be misunderstood to mean that a
|
|
<code>DOMString</code> can store arbitrary 16-bit units. A
|
|
<code>DOMString</code> is a character string encoded in UTF-16;
|
|
this means that the restrictions of UTF-16 as well as the other
|
|
relevant restrictions on character strings must be maintained. A
|
|
single character, for example in the form of a numeric character
|
|
reference, may correspond to one or two 16-bit units.<br />
