    This document contains revision activities about character encoding. It asks questions about character sets such as ASCII that use 7 bits, why the 7-bit character set was extended, and the purpose of Unicode which uses more bits. It also includes practice questions to find the denary or binary values of characters without looking them up in a character set table.
