Python String is an inbuilt data type that represents the arrays of bytes representing the Unicode characters. Python does not have the character data type, and a single character is simply a string with a length of 1.

#What is String in Python

A string is the sequence of characters.

A character is simply the symbol. For example, the English language has 26 characters.

Computers do not deal with characters, and they deal with binary numbers. Even though you may see the characters on your screen, internally, it is stored and manipulated as the combination of 0’s and 1’s.

The conversion of character to the number is called encoding, and the reverse process is decoding. ASCII and Unicode are some of the simplified encoding used.

You can count the characters in one string using the  Python len() function.
