title: How can DB hold a string more than 2 characters if its size 1 byte/8 bits
body: <p>I'm learning x86 assembly language and I've got a question to ask how can <code>db</code> (data type) can hold a string with more than 2 characters if it's size is only 1 byte or 8 bits?</p>
  <p>That means 8 bits can hold 8 binary values like if put <code>'hello world$'</code> and its binary value is greater than 8 bits as per calculating all characters or this may possible cause it takes <code>'hello world$'</code> as a character and then change it to binary, but i don't know.</p>
  <p>If someone tells me how this may be possible, with how it gonna hold it should be good.</p>
