codificati

Codificati is an Italian term that can function as an adjective meaning "codified" and, in some contexts, as a noun meaning "those who have been codified" or "the codified ones." It is commonly used to describe information, rules, or procedures that have been organized into a code or systematic set of rules.

Etymology and form: The word derives from codice (code) and the Latin-derived suffix -ficare, yielding the past participle codificato; the plural masculine form is codificati, feminine codificate.

In legal discourse, codificazione (codification) refers to the process of assembling and consolidating laws into a formal code. In this sense, "i codificati" may appear as a descriptive label for subjects or items that have undergone codification, though the plural noun is not common in everyday Italian.

In information technology and data handling, codificati describes data or content that has been encoded or transformed according to a specific scheme, such as character encodings, data formats, or encryption schemes. Examples include dati codificati in UTF-8 or testi codificati by a substitution cipher.
