1 answer:

4 0

Unicode doesn't convert binary to text. Unicode encodes text into a scheme that computers understand so that they can display or read text that humans understand.

Back in the day (1960's or so) English text was encoded in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange). Originally ASCII encoded 127 characters, and could transmit over primitive networks using 7 bits. To fully flesh out English ASCII was extended to handle 255 characters, requiring 8 bits.

As other countries got into computing, they wanted to work in their own languages. A new standard, Unicode was created. Unicode 8 (Unicode is usually referred to a UTF), UTF-8 is basically extended ASCII. UTF-16 can encode all the letters of all the languages in all the countries in the world.

loris [4]

The correct answer to this question is that Jeremy should use the F1 key.

In Word, the F1 key is the help button that will help Jeremy find any keyboard shortcut that he is looking for. After pressing F1, he can search for what he is looking for. A second option to find a keyboard short would be to perform a simple search on the Internet for what he is looking for.

Answer:

Open ended investigation

Explanation:

The above is an example of an open ended investigation. In understanding what an open ended investigation is, we first of all need to understand what open endedness means. Open endedness means whether one solution or answer is possible. In other words it means that there may be various ways and alternatives to solve or answer a question or bring solution to an investigation.

From the definition, we can deduce that an open ended investigation is a practical investigation that requires students to utilize procedural and substantive skills in arriving at conclusion through evidence gathered from open ended research or experiment(as in not close ended, not limited to ready made options, freedom to explore all possibilities). This is seen in the example question where students are asked to explore the different examples of physical controls and displays and also discuss their observations. Here students are not required to produce a predefined answer but are free to proffer their own solutions
