 * At the simplest level, text can be
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

 * modeled as a linear sequence of characters. To support

 * <a href="http://www.unicode.org/">unicode</a> characters.
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

 * The sequence of characters displayed in a text component is
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

 * To refer to locations within the sequence, the coordinates
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

    46
 * used are the location between two characters.  As the diagram
90ce3da70b43 Initial load

 * below shows, a location in a text document can be referred to
90ce3da70b43 Initial load
