In Generation II, {{p|Unown}}'s letter is taken from the combination of the center two bits of the Attack, Defense, Speed and Special IV {{wp|nibble}}s. This combination is then divided by ten, and the result is [[wp:Floor function|rounded down (''floor[]'')]] to only include the integer part of the number. This integer will range from 0-25, corresponding to a letter in the {{wp|Latin alphabet}}, which will be the Unown's letter (where 0=A, 1=B, 2=C, ..., 23=X, 24=Y, 25=Z). | In Generation II, {{p|Unown}}'s letter is taken from the combination of the center two bits of the Attack, Defense, Speed and Special IV {{wp|nibble}}s.
