In the UTF 8 standard of representing text, which is the most commonly used has a varying amount of bytes to represent characters. The Latin alphabet and numbers as well as commonly used characters such as (but not limited to) <, >, -, /, \, $ , !, %, @, &, ^, (, ), and *. Characters after that, however, such as accented characters and different language scripts are usually represented as 2 bytes. The most a character can use is 4, I think (Can someone verify? I can't seem to find the answer).

Character use only one byte why Java use two byte for character?

The number of bytes used by a character varies from language to language. Java uses a 16-bit (two-byte) character so that it can represent many non-Latin characters in the Unicode character set.


What is term bytes?

Bytes are units of digital information that are commonly used to measure the size of files or the amount of data stored in a computer. One byte is equal to 8 bits, and it is often used to represent a single character of text. Bytes are a fundamental building block for storing and processing data in computers.


Is unicode uses two bytes for each character rather than one byte?

Unicode can use varying byte lengths to represent characters, depending on the encoding system employed. For example, UTF-8 uses one to four bytes per character, while UTF-16 typically uses two bytes for most common characters but can use four bytes for less common ones. Therefore, it is not accurate to say that Unicode universally uses two bytes for each character; it depends on the specific encoding used.

What's the difference between bits and bytes in terms of data storage and processing?

Bits and bytes are units of digital information. A bit is the smallest unit of data and can have a value of either 0 or 1. A byte is made up of 8 bits and is used to represent a single character or symbol. In terms of data storage and processing, bits are used for basic operations and calculations, while bytes are used to store and process larger amounts of data.


Explain how bytes that represent keyboard characters are decoded?

The bytes representing keyboard characters are normally used to index some sort of array (or small database) to decode the information.


How many bits represent the sentence you are a students?

It depends how many bits are used to represent each character and that ultimately depends on the machine architecture. If the machine can address memory in 8-bit bytes and each character is one byte in length, then "you are a students" would occupy at least 19 bytes including a null-terminator, which is 152 bits in total. However, you might wish to use proper English in your sentences. "You are a student." (152 bits) or "You are all students." (168 bits) would be preferred to the grammatically incorrect "you are a students". Sentences begin with a capital and end with a period, but we do not mix an indefinite article with a plural.


How many bytes are required to store the name Bill?

4 - one for each character. However, depending on the computer language being used, there is some "overhead" - for example, with "C", the end of a text string is indicated with a null character, so "Bill" would need 5 bytes. Other languages precede strings with their length, the length taking 2, 4 or 8 bytes.
