following by

In certain technical documents, I encountered the phrase "following by".
I want to know whether the phrase "following by" has the same meaning of the phrase "followed by" or not.

For example, the character string(e.g. "ABCD") includes the character "A" followed by the character "B".
This sentence means that the character "B" follows the character "A" in the character string(e.g. "ABCD").

Then, in the sentence that the character string includes the character "A" following by the character "B", is this phrase "the character "A" following by the character "B"" implying the character string "AB" or the character string "BA"?

I want to know whether the phrase "following by" has the same meaning of the phrase "followed by" or not. I don't think 'following by' is correct in English. I cannot think of a sentence it will fit.
