Did you know?
Did you know that text can be encoded using different types of character encodings? One commonly used encoding is ASCII, which stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. ASCII uses a 7-bit encoding scheme and can represent a total of 128 different characters, including letters, digits, and various symbols. This encoding is widely used for English and other Western European languages. Another popular encoding is Unicode, which provides a unique number for every character in almost all languages and scripts used today. Unicode can represent over 1 million different characters and supports multiple encoding schemes, including UTF-8 and UTF-16. These encodings allow computers to accurately store, transmit, and display text in various languages and writing systems.
