Explanation

Binary representation uses 8 bits to represent each character. A bit is the smallest unit of data (0 or 1), and 8 bits combine to form 256 possible combinations, which is enough to represent all letters, numbers, and special characters in standard ASCII encoding. Bytes are groups of 8 bits, but the fundamental unit is the bit itself.
