ITPEC IP April 2024 Question 3
ITPEC IP April 2024 — Question 3 of 100
Unicode is the standard character-encoding system designed to represent multilingual text and symbols within one universal character set. It assigns a unique code point to characters from writing systems around the world, as well as punctuation, technical symbols, and emoji.
Encodings such as UTF-8 and UTF-16 specify how Unicode code points are stored as bytes. This shared repertoire allows the same text data to be exchanged across different computers, operating systems, and countries.
Answer (d)
Why not others:
- (a) ASCII mainly covers English letters, digits, punctuation, and control characters
- (b) EBCDIC is an older IBM character encoding and is not a universal multilingual standard
- (c) EUC is a family of encodings used for particular East Asian character sets rather than one worldwide repertoire
Key rule: Unicode defines universal character code points; UTF-8, UTF-16, and UTF-32 are encoding forms used to store those code points.
