| byte order | Bytereihenfolge (The processor memory architecture in which bytes of data (typically, integer values) are stored. The two most common orders are: little endian (least significant byte is placed first) and big endian (most significant byte is placed first)) |
| byte order mark | Bytereihenfolge-Marke (A Unicode character used to indicate that text is encoded in UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32) |
| byte tag | Bytetag (A tag on a physical object that defines 8 bits (or 1 byte)) |
| double byte character set | Doppelbyte-Zeichensatz (A character set that can use more than one byte to represent a single character. A DBCS includes some characters that consist of 1 byte and some characters that consist of 2 bytes. Languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean use DBCS) |
| double-byte character set | Doppelbyte-Zeichensatz (A character set that can use more than one byte to represent a single character. A DBCS includes some characters that consist of 1 byte and some characters that consist of 2 bytes. Languages such as Chinese, Japanese, and Korean use DBCS) |
| double-byte characters | Doppelbytezeichen (A set of characters in which each character is represented by two bytes. Some languages, such as Japanese, Chinese, and Korean, require double-byte character sets) |
| lead byte | führendes Byte (The byte value that is the first half of a double-byte character) |
| single-byte character set | Einzelbyte-Zeichensatz (A character encoding in which each character is represented by 1 byte. Single byte character sets are mathematically limited to 256 characters) |
| trail byte | nachfolgendes Byte (The byte value that is the second half of a double-byte character) |
