Encoding Schemes: Class - 11 - A

Encoding schemes are methods of converting data into an equivalent cipher using a specific code. Some common encoding schemes include ASCII, which represents 128 characters with 7-bit binary codes; ISCII, an 8-bit standard developed in India to encode Indian languages; and Unicode, a universal standard that assigns codes to characters in all languages.

What is Encoding ?
The mechanism of
converting data into
an equivalent cipher
using specific code
is called Encoding
Some of the well-
known encoding
schemes
American Standard Code for
Information Interchange
(ASCII)
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information
Interchange) is the most common format for text
files in computers and on the Internet. In an
ASCII file, each alphabetic, numeric, or special
character is represented with a 7-bit binary
number (a string of seven 0s or 1s). 128 possible
characters are defined.

Indian Script Code for Information
Interchange (ISCII)

In order to facilitate the use of Indian languages on computers, a


common standard for coding Indian scripts called ISCII was
developed in India during mid 1980s. It is an 8-bit code
representation for Indian languages which means it can represent
256 characters. It retains all 128 ASCII codes and uses rest of the
codes (128) for additional Indian language character set. Additional
codes have been assigned in the upper region (160–255) for the
‘aksharas’ of the language.
UNICODE
Unicode is a universal character encoding
standard that assigns a code to every
character and symbol in every language in
the world. Since no other encoding standard
supports all languages, Unicode is the only
encoding standard that ensures that you can
retrieve or combine data using any
combination of languages.
