None. A single binary digit can only be in one of two possible states. What that state physically represents is merely an abstraction: on or off, yes or no, positive or negative, true or false, black or white, the digits 0 or 1 and the characters 'A' or 'B' are all valid abstractions for the two possible states that any one bit may hold. But the computer has no notion of numbers let alone characters. These are simply our interpretation of what these states represent.
The ANSI character set has 127 characters in total which we can identify using an array of 7-bits (yielding a decimal value in the range 0 through 127). The character 'A' is represented by the binary value 1000001 (65 decimal), while 'B' is 1000010 (66 decimal). Thus we could choose between these two individual characters by saying that if a particular bit is set then we select character 65, otherwise we select character 66. However, the computer cannot do it alone -- it has no logic circuitry capable of deciding which of any two characters a single bit represents. We must program it, which requires a good deal more than just 1 bit. Thus a single bit cannot "do" any characters.

How many characters per second can be transmitted over a 1200-band line in each what modes considering a character code of 8 bits synchronous serial transmission asynchronous with 1 stop?
for 8 bit synchronous serial transmission total transmitted characters will be 1200/8 and for asynchronous transmission with 1 stop total bit will be (8+1+1=10) i.e. (8 bit + start bit+stop bit) so transmitted characters will be 1200/10
How many characters are used in a 64 bit WEP encryption key?
10 characters
How many characters are in the original 7-bit ascii character set?
128
A 10-bit code could represent how many characters?
210 = 1024, so there are 1024 different bit configurations in a 10-bit code.
How many 8 bit characters does the ASCII standard define?
128 (0-127), 95 printable, 33 control (for 7 bit ascii that is a through back to teletypes.) ISO 8859-1 has 256 characters. From 128 up to 255 we find extra symbols for other languages and regions. Ascci 128 = € for instance and 255 = ÿ. Of course there are many 8-bit standars, windows-1250, for an example.
How many nibbles are in a bit?
0.25 nibbles = 1 bit
How many hexadecimal characters must be used for 64-bit wired equivalent privacy encryption?
16
What it means 256 bit encryption. is that means all possible combinations?
256-bit means there is 256 characters within the encryption alphabet. Just like Binary, Bi-Nary, Bi meaning 2. And when you speak Binary, you only use 2 characters. 0 and 1. with 256-bit there is 256 different characters ranging from 0 to a to # or even different lang characters. 256 is a large number and is hard to crack.
How many bits in a bit?
There is only 1 bit in a bit. If you are meaning how many bits are in a byte, there are 8 bits in one byte.
How many characters are there in the Mahabharatha?
1 crore people
How many characters in 32bits?
If the characters are 8 bits then you have 4 for them in 32 bits. ASCII is an 7 bit character set but in most programming languages a char is 8 bits.
How many bits are in a bit?
one bit, holding a value 1 or 0.
