ASCII: American Standard Code for Information Interchange

American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) is 8-bit code for character representation (7 bits plus parity). ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that work with text. Most modern character encodings have a historical basis in ASCII. It defines codes for 33 non-printing, mostly obsolete control characters that affect how text is processed, plus 95 printable characters as follows: !"#$%&'()*+,-./0123456789:;<=> @ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ[\]^_ `abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz{|}~
