Understanding Symbol Codes
What is Unicode?
Unicode is a universal character encoding standard. It assigns a unique number (code point) to every character used in written languages, ensuring that text can be exchanged between different systems without corruption.
How do Alt Codes work?
Alt codes are a way to enter characters and symbols using the keyboard. By holding down the Alt key and typing a specific numeric code on the numeric keypad, you can produce special characters and symbols.
What are Decimal Codes?
Decimal codes are numerical representations of characters in the Unicode standard. These are often used in programming and web development to represent characters.
What are Hexadecimal Codes?
Hexadecimal codes are base-16 representations of characters. In the Unicode standard, characters are often referred to by their hexadecimal code points.
What are HTML Decimal Codes?
HTML Decimal codes are used to represent characters in HTML. These codes begin with an ampersand (&) followed by a hash (#) and the character's decimal code point, ending with a semicolon (;).
What are HTML Hex Codes?
HTML Hex codes are similar to HTML Decimal codes but use hexadecimal numbers instead. These codes begin with an ampersand (&) followed by a hash (#) and an 'x', the character's hexadecimal code point, ending with a semicolon (;).
What are Binary Codes?
Binary codes are base-2 representations of characters. Each character is represented by a sequence of bits (0s and 1s), used primarily in computer systems for low-level data processing and storage.
