Correct Answer - Option 3 : character
The correct answer is character.
-
1 byte may hold 1 character.
- For Example:
- Refer Ascii values for each character & convert them into binary.
- This is how it works. 2^8 = 256 Characters.
-
It depends on what is the character and what encoding it is in:
- An ASCII character in 8-bit ASCII encoding is 8 bits (1 byte), though it can fit in 7 bits.
- An ISO-8895-1 character in ISO-8859-1 encoding is 8 bits (1 byte).
- A Unicode character in UTF-8 encoding is between 8 bits (1 byte) and 32 bits (4 bytes).
