What is the power of the alphabet with which a message containing 2048 characters is written

What is the power of the alphabet with which a message containing 2048 characters is written if its volume is 10240 bits.

There are 2048 characters in the original message, which requires 10240 bits of memory to store. Storing one character requires: 10240: 2048 = 5 bits (bits) of memory.

Information is stored in memory in the form of a binary code, in which each bit can take one of two values 0 or 1. The power of the alphabet of such a code is defined as 2 ^ n, where n is the length of the code.

Thus, for the example under consideration, the cardinality of the alphabet will be 2 ^ 5 = 32 characters.
