Question

Transforming a message into an understandable sign and symbol system is _________.

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer to the following question will be "Encoding".

Explanation:

Encoding is the method of bringing into a standardized format a series of characters (words, figures, punctuation, and certain signs or symbols) for effective communication or storage.

The four main encoding styles are as follows:

• Visual
• Acoustic
• Elaborative
• Semantic.

Encoding aims is to translate data so that a particular system can properly interpret it, e.g. binary data to be sent via email, or displaying special characters on a website page. The aim is not to keep the information hidden but also to ensure it could be accessed properly.

Therefore, Encoding is the right answer.
