This lecture covers the representation of symbols, from alphabets to ideograms, including the ASCII code with 27 characters and the extended ISO 8859 Latin1 code. It also discusses the UNICODE standard, which integrates over 109,000 characters for 93 languages, and the UTF-8 encoding. Different encoding systems behind web pages and the transition from multi-byte code to image representation are explored.
