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.

Originally, both the Unicode and ISO 10646 standards were meant to be fixed-width, with Unicode being 16-bit and ISO 10646 being 32-bit. [ citation needed ] ISO 10646 provided a variable-width encoding called UTF-1 , in which singletons had the range 00–9F, lead units the range A0–FF and trail units the ranges A0–FF and 21–7E.
A duospaced font (also called a duospace font) is a fixed-width font whose letters and characters occupy either of two integer multiples of a specified, fixed horizontal space. Traditionally, this means either a single or double character width, [ 1 ] although the term has also been applied to fonts using fixed character widths with another ...
UTF-16 arose from an earlier obsolete fixed-width 16-bit encoding now known as UCS-2 (for 2-byte Universal Character Set), [1] [2] once it became clear that more than 2 16 (65,536) code points were needed, [3] including most emoji and important CJK characters such as for personal and place names.
In particular some fonts display the character as a fixed-width blank. However, the Unicode standard explicitly states that it does not act as a space, [ 2 ] a statement added in response to a comment that it should be treated as a space.

The name means fixed system, because its glyphs are monospace or fixed-width (although bolded characters are wider than non-bolded, unlike other monospace fonts such as Courier). It is the oldest font in Microsoft Windows , and was the system font in Windows 1.0 and 2.0 , where it was simply named "System".
