Line 25: ==Abbreviation and symbol== [[IEEE 1541-2002]] ~~a commonly-quoted relevant standard,~~ specifies "b" to be the unit symbol for bit and "B" to be that for byte. This convention is also widely used in computing. Before the harmonised [[ISO]]/[[IEC]] [[ISO/IEC 80000\|IEC 80000-13:2008]] standard canceled and replaced subclauses 3.8 and 3.9 of IEC 60027-2:2005, those that are related to information theory and prefixes for binary multiples, there was a second international standard definition, which defined another unit.
