The answer is: byte.

Explanation:

  • In computing, eight bits are commonly referred to as a "byte." A byte is the standard unit of data that is used to represent a single character in many character encoding systems, including ASCII.
  • ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) uses one byte (eight bits) to represent each character, such as letters, numbers, and symbols. This allows for 256 possible combinations, which is sufficient to cover the standard ASCII character set.
