What is ASCII?
ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Standard ASCII represents 128 character codes from 0 through 127. These include English letters, numbers, punctuation, spaces, and control characters.
| Character | ASCII Code |
|---|---|
| A | 65 |
| a | 97 |
| 0 | 48 |
| Space | 32 |
| ! | 33 |
ASCII vs Unicode
ASCII is limited to codes 0 through 127. Unicode supports a much larger range of characters and is used for languages, symbols, and emoji that are not part of standard ASCII.
