Merge proposal with variable-width encoding

The two pages discuss the same concept, just Variable-width encoding is focused on implementation while this page is focused on theory.

The about template says "This article is about the transmission of data across noisy channels.", which I think is referring to prefix codes being self-synchronizing, but those are just a useful subset of the general topic. Wqwt (talk) 21:31, 14 February 2025 (UTC)Reply
