  2. Double-byte character set - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Double-byte_character_set

    The term DBCS traditionally refers to a character encoding where each graphic character is encoded in two bytes.. In an 8-bit code, such as Big-5 or Shift JIS, a character from the DBCS is represented with a lead (first) byte with the most significant bit set (i.e., being greater than seven bits), and paired up with a single-byte character-set (SBCS).

    A row number and a cell number (each numbered from 1 to 94, for a standard JIS X 0208 code) form a kuten point, which is used to represent double-byte code points. A code number or kuten number ( 区点番号 , kuten bangō ) is expressed in the form "row-cell", the row and cell numbers being separated by a hyphen .

    One notable example of this is the ITA2 coding used during World War II (1939–1945). The nature of these standards is not as common knowledge like it is for ASCII or EBCDIC or their slang names. While 8-bit is the de facto standard as of 2016, [ citation needed ] in the past 5-bit and 6-bit were more prevalent or their multiple.

    However, the number of characters in Japanese is many more than 256 and thus cannot be encoded using a single byte - Japanese is thus encoded using two or more bytes, in a so-called "double byte" or "multi-byte" encoding. Problems that arise relate to transliteration and romanization, character encoding, and input of Japanese text.

    Punched tape with the word "Wikipedia" encoded in ASCII.Presence and absence of a hole represents 1 and 0, respectively; for example, W is encoded as 1010111.. Character encoding is the process of assigning numbers to graphical characters, especially the written characters of human language, allowing them to be stored, transmitted, and transformed using computers.

  7. UTF-8 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTF-8

    A BOM can confuse software that isn't prepared for it but can otherwise accept UTF-8, e.g. programming languages that permit non-ASCII bytes in string literals but not at the start of the file. Nevertheless, there was and still is software that always inserts a BOM when writing UTF-8, and refuses to correctly interpret UTF-8 unless the first ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hexspeak

    The C programming language uses the "0x" prefix to indicate a hexadecimal number, but the "0x" is usually ignored when people read such values as words. C also allows the suffix L to declare an integer as long , or LL to declare it as long long , making it possible to write "0xDEADCELL" (dead cell).

    In the most SQL dialects the double dash (--) can be used instead. Esoteric languages. Many esoteric programming languages follow the convention that any text not executed by the instruction pointer (e.g., Befunge) or otherwise assigned a meaning (e.g., Brainfuck), is considered a "comment".
