  2. BCD (character encoding) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BCD_(character_encoding)

    BCD (binary-coded decimal), also called alphanumeric BCD, alphameric BCD, BCD Interchange Code, [1] or BCDIC, [1] is a family of representations of numerals, uppercase Latin letters, and some special and control characters as six-bit character codes. Unlike later encodings such as ASCII, BCD codes were not standardized. Different computer ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary-coded_decimal

    In this clock, each column of LEDs shows a binary-coded decimal numeral of the traditional sexagesimal time. In computing and electronic systems, binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a class of binary encodings of decimal numbers where each digit is represented by a fixed number of bits, usually four or eight.

  4. Binary code - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_code

    Binary-coded decimal (BCD) is a binary encoded representation of integer values that uses a 4-bit nibble to encode decimal digits. Four binary bits can encode up to 16 distinct values; but, in BCD-encoded numbers, only ten values in each nibble are legal, and encode the decimal digits zero, through nine.

  5. Character encoding - Wikipedia

    Punched tape with the word "Wikipedia" encoded in ASCII.Presence and absence of a hole represents 1 and 0, respectively; for example, W is encoded as 1010111.. Character encoding is the process of assigning numbers to graphical characters, especially the written characters of human language, allowing them to be stored, transmitted, and transformed using computers.

    Six-bit BCD (Binary Coded Decimal), used by early mainframe computers. Six-bit ASCII subset of the primitive seven-bit ASCII; Braille – Braille characters are represented using six dot positions, arranged in a rectangle. Each position may contain a raised dot or not, so Braille can be considered to be a six-bit binary code.

    Binary-coded decimal, a representation of decimal digits in binary BCD (character encoding), a 6-bit superset of binary-coded decimal derived from the binary encoding of the same name; Boot Configuration Data, the configuration data required to boot Microsoft Windows Vista and later; Bipolar-CMOS-DMOS, a type of BiCMOS semiconductor technology

    The category of character sets includes articles on specific character encodings (see the article for a precise definition). It includes those used in computer science (coded character sets (also known as character sets (this term should not be used anymore [according to whom?]) or code pages), character encoding forms, character encoding schemes) and those that use non-numeric, pre-digital ...
