ASCII -ISCII-UNICODE
ASCII, ISCII and Unicode are encoding languages with unique
characteristics that define their usage.
ASCII uses a 7-bit encoding and ISCII uses an 8-bit which
is an extension of ASCII while Unicode is a variable bit
encoding that doesn't fit into one 8 bit and generally
uses 16-bit encoding.
ASCII, ISCII and Unicode are encoding languages with unique

ASCII uses a 7-bit encoding and ISCII uses an 8-bit which is an
extension of ASCII while Unicode is a variable bit encoding that
doesn’t fit into one 8 bit and generally uses 16-bit encoding.
Unicode is standardised while ASCII as well as ISCII aren’t. ISCII
are specific to Indian scripts and are less dynamic than
Unicode.
Unicode represents most written languages in the world while
ASCII does not.
It is a way of representing text in computer, as you know,
computers use numbers to do computation and other stuff, so
Unicode helps the computer to map text with numbers.
Unicode is an international encoding standard, used with
different languages and scripts by which each letter,digit or
symbolis assigned by a unique numeric value that applies
across different platforms and programs.
The advantages of character coding scheme by using Unicode
are shown as:
(1) It is the universal coding scheme followed throughout the
world.
(2) It is more efficient coding system than ISO or IEC.
(3) It supports uniform coding width for all the characters (16-
bits).
(4) A particular code of character is always unique, i.e./ it will
never be one code for more than one characters.
UTF-8 includes the traditional ASCII characters in its first 127
positions and assigns each of these characters its traditional
ASCII value. This simplifies adapting existing ASCII applications
to Unicode.
Unicode is becoming the universal code page of the Web.
ASCII defines 128 characters, which map to the numbers 0–127.
Unicode defines (less than) 221characters, which, similarly,
map to numbers 0–221 (though not all numbers are currently
assigned, and some are reserved).
Unicode and ASCII both are standards for encoding texts. Uses
of such standards are very much important all around the
world. Code or standard provides unique number for every
symbol no matter which language or program is being used.
From big corporation to individual software developers, Unicode
and ASCII have significant influence. Communication between
different regions in the world was difficult but this was needed
in every time.
-->Unicode is a superset of ASCII. Unicodes defines
129 characters , and the numbers 0–128 have the same
meaning in ASCII as they have in Unicode.
For example, the number 65 means "Latin capital 'A'".Because
Unicode characters don't generally fit into one 8-bit byte, there
are many ways of storing Unicode characters in byte
sequences,
UTF-32 and UTF-8.

ASCII is American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
ASCII is a character-encoding scheme and it was the first
character encoding standard.
ASCII uses 7 bits to represent a character. It has 128 code
points, 0 through 127. It is a code for representing English
characters as numbers, with each letter assigned a number
from 0 to 127.
Unicode is a universal international standard character
encoding that is capable of representing most of the world's
written languages. It assigns each character a unique number,
or code point. It defines two mapping methods, the UTF
(Unicode Transformation Format) encodings, and the UCS
(Universal Character Set) encodings.Unicode-based encodings
implement the Unicode standard and include UTF-8, UTF-16
and UTF-32/UCS-4.
Unicode uses a variable bit encoding program where you can
choose between 32, 16, and 8-bit encodings. Using more bits
lets you use more characters at the expense of larger files
while fewer bits give you a limited choice but you save a lot of
space. Using fewer bits (i.e. UTF-8 or ASCII) would probably be
best if you are encoding a large document in English.
In Simple word both are used to provide a Integer value to
the character for the comparison purpose.
For ex. If we want to compare character(say 'a==b'), they
are not directly compared by character.Firstly each character
is converted to their respective ASCII value(which is pre-
defined for each character) then they are compared.
ASCII has limited no. of character value(0–128) while
UNICODE has greater charac
It means UNICODE supports almost all language in the world.
ASCII values are used in C language where UNICODE is used
in Java.
The best example of UNICODE system is used
in Translator(as Google translate).
