How do I type? Someone tell me! Please! I need someone to google it for me!
Okay good friend, some people don't understand the concept behind unicode. ASCII letters use 1 byte, Unicode (more often than not) uses 2 bytes to make up for the lack of space needed for extra wanted characters (this varies extremely with each Unicode standard). Although it does more than just increase the size of the common character size plus a common used Unicode implementation is UTF-8 which, as it may be, only 1 byte or 8 bits given the 8 in it's name.
