What is an exabyte (EB)?

An exabyte is a digital data unit equal to 10^18 bytes in decimal or approximately 1.15×10^18 bytes in binary contexts.

How does character encoding affect conversion?

Different encodings require varying bytes per character; thus, the number of characters per exabyte depends on the encoding used.

Why convert exabytes to characters?

To estimate how many text symbols can be stored or processed at very large data scales, supporting database design and message length management.
