Petabit
A petabit (Pb) is a unit of digital information equal to 10^15 bits or 1,000,000,000,000,000 bits.
History/Origin
The petabit was introduced as part of the binary and decimal prefixes for large data quantities, reflecting the increasing need for larger units in data storage and transfer, especially during the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
Current Use
Petabits are primarily used in the context of large-scale data storage, data transfer rates, and network bandwidth measurements, particularly in data centers, internet infrastructure, and high-capacity storage systems.
Character
A character is a unit of data representing a symbol, letter, digit, or other mark used in text processing and storage.
History/Origin
The concept of a character originated with the development of written language and was adapted into digital computing with the advent of character encoding standards such as ASCII and Unicode in the 20th century.
Current Use
In data storage and computing, a character typically refers to a unit of data that encodes a symbol or letter, commonly stored as 1 byte in ASCII or variable length in Unicode encoding schemes.
