Expert Solution & Answer
Chapter 3, Problem 9RQ
Explanation of Solution
Difference between American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) and Unicode:
The following table represents the difference between ASCII and Unicode,
| ASCII | Unicode |
|
ASCII code uses about 1 byte of space in the memory. |
The Unicode character takes about 2 bytes of space in the memory. |
|
This uses complete 1 byte of information to store the “sign information” and there is no information about the “language page”. |
This uses 1 byte to store the information about the “sign” and another 1 byte to store about the: language”... |
