Question

Считая, что в кодировке Unicode каждый символ кодируется двумя байтами, определите информационный объем сообщения (в битах), состоящее из 24 символов.

Answer 2

Actually, Unicode doesn't strictly use two bytes per character. It uses variable-length encoding, where characters can be represented using different numbers of bytes depending on their code point. The most common encoding for Unicode is UTF-8, where characters can be represented using 1 to 4 bytes.

However, if we assume that each character in the message is encoded using exactly two bytes (16 bits) as you mentioned, we can calculate the information volume of the message.

Given that the message consists of 24 characters, the total number of bits can be calculated as follows:

Information Volume = Number of characters * Number of bits per character = 24 * 16 = 384 bits

So, the information volume of the message would be 384 bits.
