Code point

A code point is like a special type of number that computers use to represent different characters, like letters or symbols. It helps the computer know which character to show when you type something on the keyboard or read something on the screen. Think of it like a secret code that only the computer understands, and it's like a secret decoder ring that helps the computer figure out what letter or symbol to show. Just like 1, 2, 3 are numbers, each letter or symbol also has its own code point. So, the computer can understand what you're typing or displaying on the screen, even in different languages or scripts, as long as it knows the code point for that particular character.
