What is ASCII? 
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a widely used system for character encoding. It was
originally developed in 1963 as a 7-bit system allowing for 128 characters. Symbols 0-31 and 127 were reserved for
control characters (e.g. “Backspace” or “Delete”) with the numbers 32-126 being used for printable characters. As the 8-bit
“byte” became standardized, ASCII was extended to the 8-bit format you see below.
