Character Set: ASCII

ASCII, abbreviated from American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. This is also known as a principal SEVENBIT code.

ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices.

Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, although they support many additional characters.

ASCII is the traditional name for the encoding system; the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) prefers the updated name US-ASCII, which clarifies that this system was developed in the US and based on the typographical symbols predominantly in use there.

ASCII is one of a 1963 List of IEEE milestones.

For techies, the characters of ASCII are in the range of 00-7F hexadecimal, or from 0-127 in decimal.

PASCII, a subset of ASCII, refers to the printable characters in the 20-7E hexadecimal range.
