An [Acronym] for __A__merican __S__tandard __C__ode for __I__nformation __I__nterchange. The [ANSI] X3.4 standard specifying a character set with 95 characters with codes ranging from 32 to 126 (0x20-0x7E). The codes from 0 to 31 have come to be known as control characters and are not specified by [ASCII]. Neither is any code beyond 126, since [ASCII] was designed strictly as a 7-bit encoding. It was published in 1968 and is by far the most successful and popular encoding ever conceived. Almost all 8-bit encodings (such as [ISO] 646 and the wildly popular [ISO] 8859 tables) contain [ASCII] as their lower half. The only exception with any wide acceptance at all is [EBCDIC]. See ascii(7). ---- CategoryStandards
