Character
A character is a unit of data representing a symbol, letter, digit, or other mark used in text processing and storage.
History/Origin
The concept of a character originated with the development of written language and was adapted into digital computing with the advent of character encoding standards such as ASCII and Unicode in the 20th century.
Current Use
In data storage and computing, a character typically refers to a unit of data that encodes a symbol or letter, commonly stored as 1 byte in ASCII or variable length in Unicode encoding schemes.
Kilobit
A kilobit (kb) is a unit of digital information equal to 1,000 bits.
History/Origin
The term 'kilobit' originated with the adoption of the decimal system in data measurement, aligning with the SI prefix 'kilo' meaning 1,000. It has been used since the early days of digital data measurement to quantify data transfer rates and storage sizes.
Current Use
Kilobits are commonly used to measure data transfer speeds, such as internet connection speeds (e.g., 100 kbps), and to specify data sizes in networking and telecommunications contexts.
