Summary

BigBit standard for numeric format and character encoding

Description

I've created BigBit standard few months back to solve the problem of precision loss and to store a number in relatively less space. So if I say -25.4, it'll take 2 bytes. But in IEEE 754 standard, it takes fixed 4 bytes for binary32/float, and fixed 8 bytes for binary64/double format. BigBit standard can represent any number in the universe without precision loss. In summary, a developer need not to remember multiple type of data types and still get optimum result. In addition, BigBit standard defines a character encoding which takes less space in comparison of UTF encoding.

why an new encoding for unicode? utf-8,utf-16 and utf-32 should cover everything.

I must say after reading the github page I still have a few questions. The biggest one is how is this "in less space"?

@FelisPhasma I've currently implemented it in js. I need collaborators to implement it in other programming languages. So that any one can use it.
