Each time I dive into the subject I get lost , like WTF !?

were they used to convert binary voltage states (bytes) into display signal ?

were they invented as a guide for a software to translate 1 and O (that are NOT bytes) ?

is it both because of convenience ?

what is it ???

They were created so you can use text with a computer. Otherwise it’s just numbers, usually in base-2 (binary).

Unicode was developed later to unify all the separate encodings that people were using for different languages.
