I taught myself to read a bit of SJIS mojibake, partly
from studying the scrambled output of my clock program
with fullwidth digits. (glitch plus O = 0. Glitch plus
P = 1, etc., I think) Anyone else here can read mojibake?
What is the English word for mojibake?
Isn't Unicode mojibake three mojibak

It would be very entertaining to do the same job with the ideographs (down
to the radical level) and count the number of atoms. I suspect the resulting
"character set" would contain less than 2000 atoms altogether.

Dear Uni-cadets --
Thanks to all of you for your input.
Over the years, there have been two features
that are requested time and again by users:
1. digest mode
2. tags in the subject line.
Both of these features are available in
"Listar", the new mail list software, and so
I have enabled them.
Mike,
They did define it as "the smallest addressable unit of storage" but even on
the S/360 it was not always 8 bits. The S/360 also ran 1401/1410 emulation
and in that mode the byte was 6 bits of data + a word mark. Rather than
EBCDIC is was BCD.

Au contraire!
It was the designers of System/360 who invented the word "byte" to mean the
smallest addressable unit of storage, in their case 8 bits. It is others who
have appropriated the word for their own purposes, as has happened wi

Marco,
I find that people often understand it better when you get away from bytes,
octets etc. and describe Unicode strings as an array of unsigned short (16
bit unsigned integers) in the same manner as single byte characters are an
array of 8 bit integers. This way the only time you have to dea
Jeff,
A byte is the least addressable portion of memory. The IBM 1401 for example
has 6 bit bytes + a word mark. Parity bits don't count. A lot of systems
in the 50's and early 60's had 6 bit bytes. That is why octal became so
popular.
Bytes were not used for systems like the IBM 1620 which
Touché by all of you who've corrected my reliance on dictionaries for tech
