3 | JohnMcPherson | 11 | ASCII is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a 7-bit code. Many 8-bit codes (such as ISO 8859-1, the Linux default character set) contain ASCII as their lower half. The international counterpart of ASCII is known as ISO 646. |

86 | !!HISTORY | ||
87 | |||
88 | |||
3 | JohnMcPherson | 89 | An __ascii__ manual page appeared in Version 7 AT&T UNIX. |

3 | JohnMcPherson | 92 | On older terminals, the underscore code is displayed as a left arrow, called backarrow, the caret is displayed as an up-arrow and the vertical bar has a hole in the middle. |

94 | |||
3 | JohnMcPherson | 95 | Uppercase and lowercase characters differ by just one bit and the ASCII character 2 differs from the double quote by just one bit, too. That made it much easier to encode characters mechanically or with a non-microcontroller-based electronic keyboard and that pairing was found on old teletypes. |

3 | JohnMcPherson | 98 | The ASCII standard was published by the United States of America Standards Institute (USASI) in 1968. |
