In computing, binary translation is a form of binary recompilation where sequences of instructions are translated from a source instruction set to the target instruction set. In some cases such as instruction set simulation , the target instruction set may be the same as the source instruction set, providing testing and debugging features such ...
Mojibake ( Japanese: 文字化け; IPA: [mod͡ʑibake], "character transformation") is the garbled or gibberish text that is the result of text being decoded using an unintended character encoding.

Veitch 's 1952 Veitch chart, [ 3][ 4] which itself was a rediscovery of Allan Marquand 's 1881 logical diagram[ 5][ 6] aka Marquand diagram[ 4] but now with a focus set on its ...
There is one count that puts the English vocabulary at about 1 million words—but that count presumably includes words such as Latin species names, scientific terminology, botanical terms, prefixed and suffixed words, jargon, foreign words of extremely limited English use, and technical acronyms.
