To begin the data types, a character is a Unicode code point, that is, its value is a non-negative integer within the ranges defined by Unicode (however, it is distinct from this number as a BQN value). Characters are ordered by this numeric value. BQN deals with code points as abstract entities and does not expose encodings such as UTF-8 or UTF-16.

The precise type of a number may vary across BQN implementations or instances. A real number is a member of some supported subset of the extended real numbers, that is, the real numbers and positive or negative infinity. Some system must be defined for rounding an arbitrary real number to a member of this subset, and the basic arithmetic operations add, subtract, multiply, divide, and natural exponent (base e) are defined by performing these operations on exact real values and rounding the result. The Power function (dyadic ⋆) is also used but need not be exactly rounded. A complex number is a value with two real number components, a real part and an imaginary part. A BQN implementation can either support real numbers only, or complex numbers.

An array is a rectangular collection of data. It is defined by a shape, which is a list of non-negative integer lengths, and a ravel, which is a list of elements whose length (the array's bound) is the product of all lengths in the shape. Arrays are defined inductively: any value (of a value or function type) can be used as an element of an array, but it is not possible for an array to contain itself as an element, or an array that contains itself, and so on.

An array is a rectangular collection of data.

Arrays are defined inductively: any value (of a value or function type) can be used as an element of an array, but it is not possible for an array to contain itself as an element, or an array that contains itself, and so on. Types other than array are called atomic types, and their members are called atoms.
