Chapter 1.3, Problem 1.13CP
Explanation of Solution
Unicode:
Unicode is an encoding standard with all the characters in every language used in the entire world.
- The latest version of Unicode contains about 110,000 characters.
- It is an extensive encoding scheme which is compatible with ASCII.
- 16 bits per character are used to represent Unicode characters.
- Unicode assigns each code a unique number or code.
- It is becoming the standard character set used in computer industry...

- Why do we use binary encoding to represent information in the computer? What would be the pros and cons of using base-10 instead of base-2?arrow_forwardOne's complement representations of integers is used to simplify computer arithmetic, while representing both positive and negative values in bits (base 2). A n-bit number represents positive and negative integers with absolute value less than 2"-1, The leftmost bit is used to represent the sign. A 0 bit in this position is used for positive integers, and a 1 bit in this position is used for negative integers. When a value is negative, the magnitude of the value is represented by the rest of the bits, but the l's and O's flipped. For example: The number –5 expressed in 4-bit 1s-complement is 1010: the first bit indicates it's a negative number. The last 3 bits, when flipped to 101, is the base-2 representation of 510.
