6 bits are required to encode all 26 letters, 10 symbols, and numerals.

If we want to represent one character from the 26-letter Roman alphabet (A-Z), then we need log2(26) = 4.7 bits. We will need 5 bits.

26 letters + 10 symbols + 10 numerals = 46
any binary code is represented in powers of 2

2 power 6 =64 can represent the 46...
(1)

32 16 8 4 2 1.

Where 32 ≤ 46.

Hence 6 ie 101110 is required.
