e. UTF-8 is a character encoding standard used for electronic communication. Defined by the Unicode Standard, the name is derived from Unicode Transformation Format – 8-bit. [1] Almost every web page is stored in UTF-8. UTF-8 is capable of encoding all 1,112,064 [2] valid Unicode code points using a variable-width encoding of one to four one ...
In mathematics and computing, the hexadecimal (also base-16 or simply hex) numeral system is a positional numeral system that represents numbers using a radix (base) of sixteen. Unlike the decimal system representing numbers using ten symbols, hexadecimal uses sixteen distinct symbols, most often the symbols "0"–"9" to represent values 0 to 9 ...
Base32 is an encoding method based on the base-32 numeral system.It uses an alphabet of 32 digits, each of which represents a different combination of 5 bits (2 5).Since base32 is not very widely adopted, the question of notation—which characters to use to represent the 32 digits—is not as settled as in the case of more well-known numeral systems (such as hexadecimal), though RFCs and ...
This is a list of file signatures, data used to identify or verify the content of a file. Such signatures are also known as magic numbers or Magic Bytes. Many file formats are not intended to be read as text. If such a file is accidentally viewed as a text file, its contents will be unintelligible. However, some file signatures can be ...
Octal (base 8) is a numeral system with eight as the base. In the decimal system, each place is a power of ten. For example: In the octal system, each place is a power of eight. For example: By performing the calculation above in the familiar decimal system, we see why 112 in octal is equal to in decimal.
In HTML and XML, a numeric character reference refers to a character by its Universal Character Set / Unicode code point, and uses the format: &#xhhhh; or. &#nnnn; where the x must be lowercase in XML documents, hhhh is the code point in hexadecimal form, and nnnn is the code point in decimal form. The hhhh (or nnnn) may be any number of ...
The byte-order mark (BOM) is a particular usage of the special Unicode character code, U+FEFF ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE, whose appearance as a magic number at the start of a text stream can signal several things to a program reading the text: [1] the byte order, or endianness, of the text stream in the cases of 16- bit and 32-bit encodings;
Unicode, formally The Unicode Standard, [note 1] is a text encoding standard maintained by the Unicode Consortium designed to support the use of text in all of the world's writing systems that can be digitized. Version 16.0 of the standard [A] defines 154 998 characters and 168 scripts [3] used in various ordinary, literary, academic, and ...
