Question

Many languages do not use the characters of U.S. English. Suppose you wanted to be able to encode the characters of every language on earth within a single protocol. Guess how many characters would need to be encoded and calculate the number of bits that would be required per character. Then discuss the benefits and drawbacks of using this single unified system.

Answer 1

There are 46 alphabets in existence so you would need about 1,200 characters represented so you would need about 361 bits for the 1,200 characters. The Benefits of using this large system is its universal but it is a lot more complex than a smaller system.

Answer 2

Answer.

The number of bits required will be 361 bits.

Explanation

This is because there are 46 alphabets in existence so you would need about 1,200 characters represented so you would need about 361 bits for the 1,200 characters.

Benefits of single unified system are

i)reduced costs

ii)improved efficiency

iii)increased revenue

iv)better customer service

Drawbacks of single unified system are

i) interoperability problems
