On a 16 bit i80386 machine a nibble represents 4 bits or half of a byte. A byte represents 8 bits. A word represents 16 bits or 2 bytes. On 32 bit machines the DWORD(double word) is available and represents 32 bits or 4 bytes. On the newer 64 bit machines a QWORD represents 64 bits or 8 bytes of data. QWORD stands for QuadWord or Quadruple Word. On modern computers, a single character consumes 2 bytes of data in memory. So the word cat would consume 6 bytes. These are known as DBCS or double-byte character sets.

How many bytes does it takes to write the word Nigeria?
Taking it an absolute minimum, there is one byte per letter. As Nigeria has 7 letters, that is 7 bytes. However, on a computer there may be other things to consider within the software being used. So things like formatting of the word would have to be stored too. As there are so many ways of formatting a word and so many programs that it can be done in, there is no fixed answer when you take all of those things into consideration. So purely looking at it as text with no formatting and saying 7 letters take 7 bytes is the best answer to give.
