American Standard Code for Information Interchange

Akronim: ASCII

ASCII
American Standard Code for Information Interchange. In ASCII the letters
of the alphabet, digits and various punctuation symbols are assigned a
unique 7 bit number (0-127). cf Unicode.
On most systems there is also an additional set of 128 "extended
ASCII codes" that are used to represent a variety of other symbols.
These extended codes are not part of the ASCII standard.
