What encoding scheme did Harry enforce for safer data transmission?

Base64 encoding
Unicode encoding
ASCII encoding
Binary encoding

The correct answer is: Unicode encoding

The correct choice, Unicode encoding, is relevant for safer data transmission because it is designed to support a wide range of characters from various languages and symbol sets. This universality ensures that data is transmitted without misinterpretation or corruption across different systems, which may use different character sets. Unicode encoding helps mitigate issues such as data loss or errors that may occur if a character from a non-supported character set is encountered. Base64 encoding, while commonly used for transmitting binary data over channels that only support text, primarily focuses on encoding binary data rather than ensuring the integrity of diverse character representations. ASCII encoding, being limited to 128 characters, restricts the types of data that can be safely transmitted, especially in a global context with varied languages and symbols. Binary encoding directly represents data in bits but does not address the character set issue or ensure that the transmitted data will be interpreted correctly by different systems.
