If you did not know how letters are encoded in morse, you wouldn’t be able to read the message: ….
#Binary to text encoding code
This is similar to morse code which uses a series of dots and dashes to represent characters/letters.
Without knowing the encoding, you won’t be able to read the text. In other words, characters are stored in the computer using a special code that can be deciphered only by knowing the character encoding. So, in a computer, characters are stored as a series of bits. One solution is to associate each character with a number, called a code point. For example, l (the letter) and 1 (the number). However, some characters look similar to another that it’s hard to distinguish between them. An example character set for writing in English would include the characters A to Z, 0 to 9, punctuation marks ( !, ?, ), and symbols to denote spaces ( _), new lines, and more. A character could be any letter between A to Z, any Latin letter ( á), or any Chinese ideograph ( 請), and so on.Ī group of characters is called a character set. Letters, words, sentences, paragraphs and other text are created from characters. How can we go a step further and represent words and sentences in a different and more concise way? Character Encoding
In previous lessons, we focused heavily on representing numbers in different ways (such as in binary or hexadecimal). How can we represent text differently and more efficiently? Jump to: Navigation Text Encoding & Compression
