About ASCII Characters

There are two sets of ASCII (pronounced ASS-kee) characters/codes. The original character set (Code Page 437), now known as the standard ASCII character set, is a set of digital codes that represent each letter, number, and various symbols in the English alphabet. It is primarily use in computers to communicate text between applications and systems. ASCII is an abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The ASCII standard code was originally designed to include only 128 characters (7-bit code).

This was later expanded to support 256 characters (8-bit code) to provide language specific characters, additional symbols, along with drawing characters. The characters in the 128 to 255 range are referred to as the extended ASCII character set. Click here for the Extended ASCII Chart.
