To represent all 25 letters of the alphabet, you would need at least 5 bits.
This is because you would need 25 combinations of 1s and 5s to represent each letter.
5 bits give you 32 combinations whereas 4 bits give you 16
7bit per character
ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange
A coding system was created in the 1960s called the ASCII
Each letter is required by the keyboard was given a unique bit pattern
A bit pattern is a combination of 1s and 0s that is used to represent data.
Letters of the alphabet (lowercase) -- 26
Letters of the alphabet – 26
All numeric symbols –10
Punctuation, symbols and 'space' -- 33
32 codes reserved for non-printable control codes-32
95 are prinatble
32 are non prinatble
127 in total
Unicode
As computers developed and 16 bit computers were introdyed, a new character set was dveloped to accommodate the variosus other languages of this world
This new character set is nown as unclode Unicods used 32 bits (2 sets of 16 bits) to represebt every character in various language around the world
Within the UNICODE system, the original 127 ASCII characters
