Line 2: '''Byte-oriented framing protocol''' is "a communications protocol in which full bytes are used as control codes. Also known as character-oriented protocol."<ref>{{cite web\|last=The Free Dictionary\|title=byte-oriented protocol\|url=http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/byte-oriented+protocol\|work=McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific & Technical Term\|accessdate=September 4, 2012}}</ref> For example [[UART]] communication is byte-oriented. The term "character-oriented" is deprecated, {{By whom\|date=December 2017}} since the notion of character has changed. An ASCII character fits to one byte (octet) in terms of the amount of information. With the internationalization of computer software, wide characters became necessary, to handle texts in different languages. In particular, Unicode characters can be 81, 162, 3 or 324 ~~bits~~bytes ~~long,~~in ~~i.e.~~[[UTF-8]], 1,and 2,other encodings of [[Unicode]] use two or 4four bytes per [[code point]]. ==See also== * [[Bit-oriented protocol]] ==References==
