ASCII and Base-64 Encoding Guide

The document describes the American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) which defines a 7-bit binary code for representing text characters as numbers. It includes a table showing the decimal, binary, and hexadecimal values for each ASCII character. It also describes binary-to-text encoding schemes like Base-64 which represent bits of data as textual characters.
