The facts on the card
The card carries these facts from its Wikipedia article.
- Not only can a character set include natural language symbols, but it can also include codes that have meanings or functions outside of language, such as control characters and whitespace.
- Character encodings have also been defined for some constructed languages.
- When encoded, character data can be stored, transmitted, and transformed by a computer.
Why it is Uncommon
Rarity in WikiCards follows a year of Wikipedia page views: the most read articles become Epic and Legendary cards. The Character encoding article was read about 110,000 times in a year. ATK comes from the length of the article and DEF from its quality, so this card hits with 70 and blocks with 50: each hit it takes is cut by 20 %.
How to get Character encoding
Open packs. Each pack holds five cards drawn from real Wikipedia articles, the rarest last, and the fifth card is always Rare or better. The odds are shown in the game. A free pack arrives every hour and two can wait, and the Coins you win in duels buy more packs.
