Depends on what you refer to as Unicode. Typically the ones you will see is UTF-8 which uses from up to one to three bytes per character (the two or three-byte characters are usually for characters used in various other languages that are not already covered under the ASCII codepage). Otherwise, the convention states that Unicode is UTF-16.
That depends on the character code used:baudot - 5 bits per character - 320 bitsFIELDATA - 6 bits per character - 384 bitsBCDIC - 6 bits per character - 384 bitsASCII - 7 bits per character - 448 bitsextended ASCII - 8 bits per character - 512 bitsEBCDIC - 8 bits per character - 512 bitsUnivac 1100 ASCII - 9 bits per character - 576 bitsUnicode UTF-8 - variable bits per character - depends on the characters in the textUnicode UTF-32 - 32 bits per character - 2048 bitsHuffman coding - variable bits per character - depends on the characters in the text
16 bits. Java char values (and Java String values) use Unicode.
it support the 65000 different universal character.
A character in ASCII format requires only one byte and a character in UNICODE requires 2 bytes.
"recommended setting" There are 19 characters including the space between the two words. If the old convention of using 1 byte to represent a character, then we would need (19 x 8) which is 152 bits. If we use unicode as most modern computers use (to accommodate all the languages in the world) then 2 bytes will represent each character and so the number of bits would be 304.
8 bits = 64 character
That depends what encoding is used. One common (fairly old) encoding is ASCII; that one uses one byte for each character (letter, symbol, space, etc.). Some systems use 2 bytes per character. Many modern systems use Unicode; if the Unicode characters are stored as UTF-16 - a fairly common encoding scheme - many common characters will still use a single byte, while many special symbols (for example, accented characters) will take up two bytes. The number of bits is simply the number of bytes multiplied by 8.
ASCII = 7 bit Unicode = 16 bits UTF-8 =8 bit
Each hexidecimal character represents 4 bits, therefore 256 bits takes 256 / 4 = 64 characters.
The Unicode Transformation Format Unicode is a character set supported across many commonly used software applications and operating systems. For example, many popular web browser, e-mail, and word processing applications support Unicode. Operating systems that support Unicode include Solaris Operating Environment, Linux, Microsoft Windows 2000, and Apple's Mac OS X. Applications that support Unicode are often capable of displaying multiple languages and scripts within the same document. In a multilingual office or business setting, Unicode's importance as a universal character set cannot be overlooked. Unicode is the only practical character set option for applications that support multilingual documents. However, applications do have several options for how they encode Unicode. An encoding is the mapping of Unicode code points to a stream of storable code units or octets. The most common encodings include the following: UTF-8 UTF-16 UTF-32 Each encoding has advantages and drawbacks. However, one encoding in particular has gained widespread acceptance. That encoding is UTF-8.
