    I'd like to take you back to the early days of computers and ASCII.
    This was a code that encoded characters into 8 binary digits.

    There were no fonts, languages, sizes etc. Just basic encoding.

    A computer is nothing more than a series of switches. Each switch has two states; on and off. This is represented using the binary numbering system where 0 = off and 1 = on. Each switch is referred to as a bit.

    There is then software that reads the bits and translates them into instructions that the CPU processes. Those instructions may be simply to display a character on the keyboard or to perform some calculation or other action.
