ASCII = AMERICAN STANDARD CODE for INFORMATION INTERCHANGE It is one of several standards used for character representation and device control. When a character is displayed on the screen, it has a unique code value behind the scenes that represents that character. ASCII codes are defined within 7 bits, having values 0 through 127. The 8th bit (values 128 through 255) is reserved for extended codes to allow for custom and international characters. Some ASCII codes for example: 0 = NULL 3 = Control-C 26 = Control-Z 32 = space 48 = 0 49 = 1 64 = @ 65 = A 66 = B 97 = a 98 = b 127 = delete Your favorite search engine will reveal more details about ASCII and other standards.
