About these units

Character (character)

A character is not a fixed quantity of bytes but rather a conceptual unit representing a single textual symbol. Historically, characters corresponded to one byte under ASCII, allowing for 256 distinct values. With the rise of Unicode, characters now require variable-length encoding—from 1 to 4 bytes in UTF-8, or fixed widths in UTF-16 and UTF-32. This flexibility allows representation of all human writing systems, mathematical symbols, emojis, and historic scripts. Characters are the foundation of text processing, natural-language computing, and human-computer communication. Software engineering, databases, and web technologies must carefully distinguish between characters and bytes to avoid encoding errors and data loss.

Zip 250 (Zip 250)

The Zip 250 increased capacity to 250 MB, improving on the Zip 100 line while retaining backward compatibility. It served as a bridge to larger removable storage formats and remained popular until USB flash drives took over the portable storage market. Designers, schools, and offices used Zip 250 disks for medium-sized multimedia projects, backups, and file transfers. Its existence illustrates the rapid pace of storage innovation—and how even seemingly large capacities were quickly eclipsed.
