Code Page File Converter Description

The Code Page File Converter application was developed to be a small tool that can be used to convert Text Files to a different code-page.There are some people who still don't understand the difference between a byte and a character. So, let's start with the basics.A byte is information storage. 1 byte = 8 bits. That is it.A character is any written symbol. It ranges from English letters to Chinese letters to any other special characters, or even scientific, or mathematical symbols. In order to let the computer store characters, there are many ways for encoding. If the encoding is 8-bit encoding, this means that every character will be stored in one single byte. But other encodings offer 7-bit encoding (like ANSI) or 16-bits encoding (like Unicode). Code Page represents the encoding mechanism that is used to encode characters into a bit-stream.
