ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a 7-bit character encoding standard developed in 1963. It defines numerical representations for 128 characters (codes 0–127), covering English letters (A-Z, a-z), digits (0-9), punctuation marks, and control codes (like newline, backspace, and null).
Extended ASCII uses the full 8th bit (codes 128–255) to represent accented letters, symbols, and graphical box-drawing elements. Modern computing utilizes UTF-8 (Unicode), which maintains complete backward compatibility with the original 128 standard ASCII character set while supporting over 149,000 international characters and emojis.
Computers store characters as binary integers. Every character maps to an identical numerical value across different mathematical bases:
• Decimal (Base-10): 82
• Hexadecimal (Base-16): 0x52 (5×16¹ + 2×16⁰ = 80 + 2 = 82)
• Binary (Base-2): 01010010 (64 + 16 + 2 = 82)
• Octal (Base-8): 122 (1×64 + 2×8 + 2×1 = 82)
