Encoding Schemes
What is Encoding?
Process of converting data from one form to another form is called encoding. In Computer Science encoding is converting data (numbers, alphabets, symbols, spaces, graphics etc.) into binary codes.
Why Encoding?
- Platform Independency
- Internationalization
- Security
- Effective Communication
There are various standard encoding schemes each part of data is assigned a unique code. Some of the popular encoding schemes are mentioned below:
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
- Formally began in 1960 and later promoted by ANSI
- Standard common way to encode and represent keys of keyboard understood by every computer.
- It Uses 7-bits to represent any character.
- It represents (encodes) total 27= 128 characters. (Because of 7-bit representation)
- It can represent (encode) character set of English language only.
ASCII Table
| Character | Decimal Value | Character | Decimal Value | Character | Decimal value |
| Space | 32 | @ | 64 | , | 96 |
| ! | 33 | A | 65 | a | 97 |
| “ | 34 | B | 66 | b | 98 |
| # | 35 | C | 67 | c | 99 |
| $ | 36 | D | 68 | d | 100 |
| % | 37 | E | 69 | e | 101 |
| & | 38 | F | 70 | f | 102 |
| ‘ | 39 | G | 71 | g | 103 |
| ( | 40 | H | 72 | h | 104 |
| ) | 41 | I | 73 | i | 105 |
ISCII (Indian Standard Code for Information Interchange)
- Introduced by Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS) in 1991.
- Standard encoding scheme to represent Indian Scripts.
- It uses 8-bits to represent characters.
- It represents total 28 = 256 characters.
- It supports 10 different Indian languages which are: Devanagari, Punjabi, Bengali, Gujarati, Oriya, Telugu, Assamese, Kannada, Malayalam, Tamil and Roman.
UNICODE
- It has been developed to represent all the characters of every written language of world.
- It can represent near about 1,000,000 characters
- It may be 8-bit, 16-bit or 32-bit
- It is superset of ASCII
- UTF-8, UTF-16 and UTF-32 are some common Unicode encodings among which UTF-8 is most commonly used.
Number System
- Number system is mathematical way to represent numbers using literals such as digits, characters or symbols.
- It is also known as Positional Number System because value of each literal (digit, character or symbol) in a number depends upon its position within number.
- There are different number system and all have their own set of unique literals.
- The count of literals of number system is called Base or Radix.
- The value of each literal in a number is calculated using-
- The literal itself
- Position of the literal
- Base of the number system
- There are four number systems used in the context computer-
- Decimal Number System
- Binary Number System
- Octal Number System
- Hexadecimal Number System
Decimal Number System
- It is used by humans
- It uses 10 different digits from 0 to 9 to represent numbers.
- Decimal number system has base 10
- Each place to the left is ten times greater than the place to its right which means each place represent a specific power of the base (10).
Following figure represents the Integer and fractional part of decimal number 1253.76 alongwith calculation of the decimal number using positional values-
Binary Number System
- It is used by Computer and other Digital devices.
- It uses two different digits 0 and 1 called as bit to represent any information
- Binary number system has base 2
- Each place in a binary code represents a specific power of the base (2).
- Binary Number System is also referred as Machine Language.
Application of Binary Number System

Octal Number System
- It is used to represent large and complex binary codes into concise manner.
- It uses 8 different digits from 0 to 7 to represent information.
- Octal Number System has base 8.
- Each place in Octal code represents a specific power of the base (8).
Applications of Octal Number System
- It is used in register and flip flop of Computer Motherboards.
- It is used in Mainframe such as UNIVAC, PDP etc.
