How Computers See the Alphabet 👇

Computers don’t understand letters; they understand numbers, and those numbers are stored as binary (1s and 0s).
The most common system is ASCII, which gives every letter a number. For example:
“JOY” in binary:
J = 01001010
O = 01001111
Y = 01011001

So:
01001010 01001111 01011001
