Answer 1

Every character, number, or symbol on the keyboard is represented as a binary number in computer memory.

Answer 2

The answer is binary number.

A character in computers or machine-based telecommunications is a unit that roughly corresponds to a symbol written in the form of a natural language. Since computers only understand binary, characters are identified by certain sequences of binary. Binary number is the most efficient way to control logic circuits and is quickly to detect an electrical signal’s on or off state.
