Character Encoding Quiz

What can the system unit not directly process?

• User requests

• Data storage

• Output signals

• Network connections

What happens when a key on the keyboard is pressed?

• It is directly displayed on the screen.

• It is internally mapped to a unique code and converted to binary.

• It is stored temporarily in memory.

• It bypasses processing and executes instantly.

What happens when the key 'A' is pressed on the keyboard?

• It is directly sent to the monitor.

• It is internally mapped to a decimal value 65 and then converted to binary.

• It bypasses encoding and is sent as raw input.

• It is stored as hexadecimal for processing.

What does character encoding do?

• It translates digital data into images.

• It assigns specific numeric values to letters, numbers, and symbols.

• It compresses digital data for efficient storage.

• It encrypts data for security purposes.

What is a method of converting data from one format to another?

• encoding

• data compression

• encryption

• decoding

What does character encoding do?

• It translates text to hexadecimal.

• It assigns unique numeric values to characters and converts them to binary.

• It encrypts data for security.

• It compresses digital data.

What happens when characters are input through a keyboard or other means?

• They are displayed randomly on the screen

• They are mapped to associated bytes in the computer memory

• They remain unchanged until processed

• They are ignored by the computer

Why is character encoding necessary for a computer to display characters properly?

• It allows characters to be displayed in random formats

• It translates characters into a binary format the computer can understand

• It prevents data loss during transmission

• It is not necessary for digital content

What will happen if the computer does not use the correct character encoding?

• The characters will display correctly

• The computer will not be able to display the characters properly

• Data will be encrypted

• The computer will shut down

What is the key factor in rendering translated digital content correctly?

• Using the correct font

• Using the correct character encoding

• Ensuring high screen resolution

• Using a powerful CPU
