Learning about Character Encoding for strings! Here's a snippet from my permanent note:
Every character that we see is represented as a number on the computer. To be specific, it's a series of bits. But this process of transforming a visual character into a number is done through character encoding. Character encoding is a map for the computer to transform this number into the character we see. It's a cipher, a key, to crack the code.
I'm a fan of Open Source and have a growing interest in serverless and edge computing. I'm not a big fan of spiders, but they're doing good work eating bugs. I also stream on Twitch.
