string
     
         A sequence of {data} values, usually {bytes},
        which usually stand for {characters} (a "character string").
        The {mapping} between values and characters is determined by
        the {character set} which is itself specified implcitly or
        explicitly by the environment in which the string is being
        interpreted.
     
        The most common character set is {ASCII} but, since the late
        1990s, there has been increased interest in larger character
        sets such as {Unicode} where each character is represented by
        more than eight {bits}.
     
        Most programming languages consider strings (e.g.
        "124:shabooya:\n", "hello world") basically distinct from
        numbers which are typically stored in fixed-length {binary} or
        {floating-point} representation.
     
        A {bit string} is a sequence of {bit}s.
