Hexadecimal is used in the transfer encoding Base 16, in which each byte of the plain text is broken into two 4-bit values and represented by two hexadecimal digits.
UTF-16 (16-bit Unicode Transformation Format) is a character encoding capable of encoding all 1,112,064 valid code points of Unicode (in fact this number of code points is dictated by the design of UTF-16). The encoding is variable-length, as code points are encoded with one or two 16-bit code units.
Base64. In computer programming, Base64 is a group of binary-to-text encoding schemes that transforms binary data into a sequence of printable characters, limited to a set of 64 unique characters. More specifically, the source binary data is taken 6 bits at a time, then this group of 6 bits is mapped to one of 64 unique characters.
Base32 is an encoding method based on the base -32 numeral system. It uses an alphabet of 32 digits, each of which represents a different combination of 5 bits (2 5). Since base32 is not very widely adopted, the question of notation—which characters to use to represent the 32 digits—is not as settled as in the case of more well-known ...
Binary-to-text encoding. A binary-to-text encoding is encoding of data in plain text. More precisely, it is an encoding of binary data in a sequence of printable characters. These encodings are necessary for transmission of data when the communication channel does not allow binary data (such as email or NNTP) or is not 8-bit clean.
Mesh data is usually stored using 32-bit single-precision floats for the vertices, however in some situations it is acceptable to reduce the precision to only 16-bit half-precision, requiring only half the storage at the expense of some precision. Mesh quantization can also be done with 8-bit or 16-bit fixed precision depending on the requirements.
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 digital computers. [1] The numerical values that make up a character encoding are known as "code points" and collectively comprise a "code space", a ...
Plane (Unicode) In the Unicode standard, a plane is a contiguous group of 65,536 (2 16) code points. There are 17 planes, identified by the numbers 0 to 16, which corresponds with the possible values 00–10 16 of the first two positions in six position hexadecimal format (U+ hhhhhh). Plane 0 is the Basic Multilingual Plane (BMP), which ...
