unsigned - it cannot have negative values const - constant, you cannot change its value after assigning * - pointer

const char* is useful for pointer to a string that will not change. ie your program will print some string, like the same welcome messages every time it starts. The unsigned version is useful for pointer to a binary sequence you may want to write too a file.
