  2. Binary-to-text encoding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-to-text_encoding

    Files that contain machine-executable code and non-textual data typically contain all 256 possible eight-bit byte values. Many computer programs came to rely on this distinction between seven-bit text and eight-bit binary data, and would not function properly if non-ASCII characters appeared in data that was expected to include only ASCII text ...

  3. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    The word 'Wikipedia' represented in ASCII binary code, made up of 9 bytes (72 bits). A binary code represents text, computer processor instructions, or any other data using a two-symbol system. The two-symbol system used is often "0" and "1" from the binary number system. The binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also known as bits ...

  4. List of binary codes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_binary_codes

    This is a list of some binary codes that are (or have been) used to represent text as a sequence of binary digits "0" and "1". Fixed-width binary codes use a set number of bits to represent each character in the text, while in variable-width binary codes, the number of bits may vary from character to character.

  5. Base64 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64

    QR codes which contain binary data will sometimes store it encoded in Base64 rather than simply storing the raw binary data, as there is a stronger guarantee that all QR code readers will accurately decode text, as well as the fact that some devices will more readily save text from a QR code than potentially malicious binary data.

  6. Comparison of data-serialization formats - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_data...

    BER: variable-length big-endian binary representation (up to 2 2 1024 bits); PER Unaligned: a fixed number of bits if the integer type has a finite range; a variable number of bits otherwise; PER Aligned: a fixed number of bits if the integer type has a finite range and the size of the range is less than 65536; a variable number of octets ...

  7. SREC (file format) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SREC_(file_format)

    Other than ASCII-to-hex converted comments in S0 header records, the SREC file format doesn't officially support human-readable ASCII comments, though some software ignores all lines that don't start with "S" and/or ignores all text after the Checksum field (thus trailing text is sometimes used (incompatibly) for comments).

  8. Huffman coding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huffman_coding

    Huffman tree generated from the exact frequencies of the text "this is an example of a huffman tree". Encoding the sentence with this code requires 135 (or 147) bits, as opposed to 288 (or 180) bits if 36 characters of 8 (or 5) bits were used (This assumes that the code tree structure is known to the decoder and thus does not need to be counted as part of the transmitted information).

  9. Binary Golay code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_Golay_code

    Either of degree 11 irreducible factors can be used to generate the code. [6] Turyn's construction of 1967, "A Simple Construction of the Binary Golay Code," that starts from the Hamming code of length 8 and does not use the quadratic residues mod 23. [7] From the Steiner System S(5,8,24), consisting of 759 subsets of a 24-set. If one ...
