• Any text-based data is saved in bits (a series of 1s and 0s) by the computer and follows the defined Coding Scheme. The coding scheme is a collection of rules that tells the user's computer which character corresponds to which sequence of bytes. The coding scheme must be specified because otherwise, the system may read the bytes as a different character than intended.
• For example, in ASCII, 0x6B is the character 'k,' whereas in the less popular EBCDIC coding method, it is the character ','.
