Thus all data must ultimately reduce to binary numbers controlled through logic circuits. _Encoding_ is the process of establishing a correspondence between certain binary numbers and symbols. For certain essential data types, for instance alphanumeric characters and colours, there are agreed standards of encoding such that, for example, that (binary) and `3F` (hex) always corresponds to the character `?`. diff --git a/Hardware/Binary/Text_encoding.md b/Hardware/Binary/Text_encoding.md deleted file mode 100644 index e69de29..0000000
