Ø   The binary number system (base-2) is composed of 2 unique symbols 0 and 1.
          Ø   The octal number system (base-8) is composed of 8 unique symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
          Ø   The hexadecimal (her) number system (base-16) is composed of 16 symbols: 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B,
              C, D, E, F. The decimal, binary, octal and hexadecimal systems are positional value systems wherein each
              component digit.
          Ø   Characters are represented in memory by alphanumeric codes. One such code is ASCII (American Standard
              Code Information Interchange) most commonly used encoding scheme used to encode characters in the
              English language.
          Ø   Indian Script Code for Information Interchange (ISCII) — a coding scheme for representing characters in
              various writing systems in India.

          Ø   ISCII is used for encoding the data collected by the election commission. It is also used for encoding the land
              records.

          Ø   UTF-16 is a variable-length encoding scheme that uses 1 byte (8-bits) or 2 bytes (16 bits) to represent the
              characters. It is not compatible with ASCII.
          Ø   UTF-32 is a fixed-length encoding scheme that uses precisely four bytes to represent the characters.
