It depends on which of several coding standards you use.
ANSI or ASCII uses one byte to define a character, as does BCDIC and EBCDIC.
Multi-byte character sets typically have a special character that is used to indicate that the following character is from a different character set than the base one. If the character u-umlaut cannot be represented in the standard set of characters, for instance, you could use two characters, one to say the following character is special, and then the special u0umlaut character. This coding standard requires somewhere between one and two bytes to encode a character.
The Unicode system is intended to support all possible characters, including Hebrew, Russian / Cyrillic, Greek, Arabic, and Chinese. As you can imagine, in order to support all these different characters, you need a lot of bits. The initial standard, U16, used two bytes per character; but this proved to be insufficient, so a new standard, U24 which uses three bytes per character, is also now available.
What else can I help you with?
How many KB in one character?
A character in ASCII format requires only one byte and a character in UNICODE requires 2 bytes.
How many bytes of memory are needed to store a full screen of data if the screen is made of 24 lines with 80 characters in each line the system uses ascii code with each ascii character stored as?
15,383 Bytes
How many characters are in a kilabyte?
If you're referring to kilobyte, then it contains 1024 bytes and if the characters are the standard ASCII character set where 1 character is 1 byte, then a kilobyte would have 1024 characters.
How many bits are in extended ASCII byte?
An extended ASCII byte (like all bytes) contains 8 bits, or binary digits.
How many bytes will will it take to transmit hello world without quotation markss?
The phrase "hello world" consists of 11 characters, including a space. In a typical ASCII encoding, each character takes up 1 byte. Therefore, transmitting "hello world" will take 11 bytes. If you include a newline character at the end, it would take 12 bytes.
In ASCII code the word 'cat' would equal how many bytes?
011000110110000101110100 is cat in Binary. That is 23 Bits, or just under 3 Bytes.
How many bytes are required to store the word intelligent?
The word "intelligent" consists of 11 characters. In standard encoding, such as UTF-8 or ASCII, each character typically requires 1 byte. Therefore, to store the word "intelligent," 11 bytes are required.
How many characters are there in a kilobyte?
First, let's assume you are talking about modern computers that use the hexadecimal system. {Old systems use octal, and we won't go there in this answer.) The ASCII chart runs from hex 0 to hex 7F, so it takes two bytes to store one ASCII character. {see the Related Link for an ASCII chart} One kilobyte = 1000 bytes, thus 500 ASCII characters can normally by stored in one kilobyte. http://www.asciitable.com/
How many bytes and how many bits does the word duck contain?
If you are using the ASCII system, the word "duck", as it has four letters, contains 4 bytes, or 32 bits.
How many bytes are allocated when a variable is declared in union?
The total number of bytes allocated to the union will be the same number as would have been allocated if instead of the union was declared the largest member of the union. For example, if you declared: union myUnion { char c; int i; double d; } u;, then the space allocated to u will be the size of a double.
How many bytes for unsigned character?
One.
