What is the difference between proper and improper subsets?
S is a proper subset of T ifall elements of S are in T andthere is at least one element of T which is not in S.S is an improper subset if the second condition does not apply.
What is the difference between improper subset and equal sets?

What are the ASCII codes for subset and proper subset?
