What is Unicode? ASCII & UTF-8 Explained Simply! 🌐 | Bit Byte Talks

🔤 Ever wondered how your computer shows the letter 'A', or an emoji 😊, or Chinese characters on screen? It all comes down to Unicode, ASCII, and UTF-8!

In this video, we break it ALL down — no jargon, just clear explanations with visuals:

✅ What ASCII is and why it was created (1963)
✅ The encoding chaos that ASCII caused worldwide
✅ What Unicode is and how it solves everything
✅ Code points explained: U+0041, U+1F600 and more
✅ How UTF-8 works — variable byte length magic
✅ How Notepad saves and reads your text (full round trip!)
✅ The BOM (Byte Order Mark) — UTF-8 vs UTF-8 with BOM
✅ Emojis are Unicode too! 😂 = U+1F602 = 4 bytes
✅ UTF-8 vs UTF-16 vs UTF-32 comparison
