ASCII – American Standard Code for Information Interchange


American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a way of defining a set of characters for encoding text documents on computers. ASCII was first adopted in 1963 and quickly became widely used throughout the computer world. Initially it was 6 bit, but later it has become a 7-bit character set where each character is defined by 0s and 1s.
