Kodierungstabellen
Kodierungstabellen, also known as character encoding tables or code pages, are essential in computer science for representing text data. They are essentially lookup tables that map characters to specific numerical values, or codes. This mapping allows computers, which fundamentally work with numbers, to store, process, and display text. Different kodierungstabellen exist because there is no single universal standard for representing all characters used across various languages and symbols.
Early computing often relied on simpler tables like ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange), which
Unicode is a modern standard that aims to provide a unique number for every character, regardless of
