** Understanding Character Encodings: A Historical Perspective 🕰️
Character encodings have a complex history, spanning from ASCII to Unicode. Initially, computers used 7-bit bytes, but the introduction of 8-bit bytes led to conflicts over encoding space. The emergence of code pages and DBCS further complicated language exchange, until Unicode proposed a single system for representing all languages and symbols.
