After a program decodes text, a font draws the character shapes.

What is a character set?

• A font that draws decoded glyphs from stored text
• An agreed table pairing characters with code points
• A file format that stores only pictures and their colour values

In ASCII, what range contains the character codes?

• 0 through 127
• 128 through 255
• Only 8 and 16

A file saved with one character encoding is decoded with another. What is likely?

• The bytes may become unexpected characters.
• The font will change the file's stored bytes and use more storage.
• The screen will change the file's stored bytes into larger pixels.

In a table where the capital letters run in order with consecutive codes, D is 68. What code does G get?

• 70
• 71
• 78

Why was ASCII not enough for a world text standard?

• It covered only a limited set of characters.
• It could store English letters, but not any numbers or punctuation.
• It made every file contain a picture instead of written characters.

A file that looked fine on one computer opens as odd symbols on another. What is the likely cause?

• The file contains too many words for the screen to display at its chosen width
• The font was set to a smaller size than before, so the text looked compressed
• The program used decoding rules that did not match the saved encoding

The same bits can be a letter in one file and a colour value in another. What decides the meaning?

• The size of the font used to display the decoded bits on screen
• The file format and decoding rules used to read it
• The length of the file name shown on the screen and in its folder
