what's the difference between character stream and byte stream?
<p>first, I know the difference between character and byte.
character is a signature or remark of something("A", "中" or other), byte is a concrete size in computer. And the size of a character in computer depends on the encoding style.
But what exactly is a character stream and a byte stream? what's the specific type they stand for? A byte stream is a stream of bytes? if so, what is a stream of character? My last question is, what type of stream does TCP transport?  </p>
