- Composed of letters, numbers, and symbols
- Uses encoding schemes like ASCII or Unicode
- Each character is represented by a binary value underneath
- ASCII uses 7 or 8 bits to represent a character
- Unicode can represent characters from almost all languages
Binary
Binary is the most basic representation of data in computing, using only 0s and 1s.
- Each bit can only be 0 or 1
- Forms the foundation of all digital systems
- Usually grouped in 8-bit bytes
- Can be represented with a prefix like '0b101010'
