Correct answer: D. Unicode
- A. BCD (Binary-Coded Decimal)
- B. EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code)
- C. ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
- D. Unicode
Explanation
Unicode is a character encoding standard that can represent a very large number of characters, including almost all the world's writing systems. The current version of Unicode can represent over 143,000 characters, which is more than enough to accommodate 65536 characters.Incorrect Options Explained:BCD: BCD is limited to representing decimal digits (0-9).EBCDIC: EBCDIC can represent 256 characters, which is not enough for 65536 characters.ASCII: ASCII is limited to representing 128 characters.
