A text file format. A .txt file is most commonly used for simple text files made in notepad, usually with nothing more special than Unicode characters, as opposed to its counterpart .rtf (Rich Text File) which can contain multimedia (images, colored text, etc.). Text files nowadays are mostly used for README.txt files that a program developer puts in their app directory to say some basic information or warnings to the user. They are also used to contain scripts for various programming languages (C, C++, Java, Python) even though they have their own file formats. (.c, .cpp, .json, . py). Other uses of text files are nowadays obsolete since they are mostly replaced with word files with the file extension .docx
