Convert bit to character
Bit
A bit (binary digit) is the most basic unit of digital information, representing a logical state with one of two possible values: 0 or 1. The term was coined by statistician John Tukey in 1946 and popularized by Claude Shannon in his foundational work on information theory. Eight bits form one byte, the standard unit of computer storage.
Character
In computing, a character is a unit of digital storage conventionally equal to one byte (8 bits), representing a single letter, digit, punctuation mark, or control symbol. The equivalence of one character to one byte originates from early ASCII encoding, where each character was stored in exactly 8 bits. Modern encodings such as UTF-8 may use multiple bytes per character, but the single-byte convention persists in many storage contexts.

How to convert Bit to Character
1 b = 0.125 Character. To convert any value, multiply it by 0.125. For example, 25 b = 3.125 Character.
