Simple (character)

A simple character, often called a "digit" or "number," is a basic symbol used to represent a quantity or value in writing and mathematics. For example, the numbers 0 through 9 are simple characters that can be combined to form larger numbers. These characters are fundamental building blocks for representing data, calculations, and information efficiently. In programming, simple characters also refer to individual text symbols like letters, punctuation, or digits, forming the smallest meaningful units of textual data.
