Coded Character Set

A Coded Character Set is a system that assigns unique codes to each character, symbol, or glyph used in written language. This allows computers and devices to store, process, and display text accurately. For example, the ASCII set includes letters, numbers, and punctuation marks, using codes ranging from 0 to 127. More advanced sets, like Unicode, support thousands of characters from various languages and scripts worldwide. By using coded character sets, different types of software can easily share and understand text data, ensuring compatibility and clarity in communication across different systems and platforms.
