Byte orientation refers to forms of data processing in which digital data are processed bytewise. For example, communication is called byte oriented or character oriented when the transmitted information is grouped into bytes. The latter term is deprecated, since the notion of ''character'' has changed. An ASCII character fits to one byte (octet) in terms of the amount of information. With the internationalization of computer software, wide characters became necessary, to handle texts in different languages. In particular, Unicode characters can be 8, 16, or 32 bits long, i.e., 1, 2, or 4 bytes. Byte oriented transmission makes use of byte-oriented protocols, that may involve transmission of additional bits as terminators, means of error recovery, etc. Alternative approaches are ''bit oriented'' and ''word oriented''. ==See also== * Word orientation * Byte stream * Byte-oriented protocol * Byte Stream Protocol 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「byte orientation」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
