ASCII
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard used to represent text in computers. It was developed in the early 1960s by a committee of industry representatives, including Bob Bemer, and has since become a widely-used standard for encoding text in Email, Application development, and other digital applications. ASCII uses a 7-bit binary code to represent 128 unique characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols. The standard has been influential in the development of modern computing and has played a key role in the creation of the Internet. Despite its limitations, ASCII remains a fundamental component of many digital systems, including Ubuntu and other Operating Systems.
