1. What is character encoding?

Answer

a system in computer programming that pairs a character in a language set with a sequence of binary digits

a system in programming that encodes hidden commands in game applications

a system in computer programming that changes text characters into pixel patterns

a system in programming that translates one programming language into another

Explanation

Character encoding is a system that assigns each character—such as a letter, number, or symbol—a particular sequence of binary digits so a computer can store and interpret text. It does not encode hidden game commands, convert characters into pixel patterns, or translate one programming language into another.
