ASCII ( / ˈæskiː / ⓘ ASS-kee ), [3] : 6 an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices.
Braille ASCII. Braille ASCII (or more formally The North American Braille ASCII Code, also known as SimBraille) is a subset of the ASCII character set which uses 64 of the printable ASCII characters to represent all possible dot combinations in six-dot braille. It was developed around 1969 and, despite originally being known as North American ...
Mojibake ( Japanese: 文字化け; IPA: [mod͡ʑibake], "character transformation") is the garbled or gibberish text that is the result of text being decoded using an unintended character encoding. [1] The result is a systematic replacement of symbols with completely unrelated ones, often from a different writing system .
Windows-1252 or CP-1252 ( Windows code page 1252) is a legacy single-byte character encoding [2] that is used by default in Microsoft Windows throughout the Americas, Western Europe, Oceania, and much of Africa . Initially the same as ISO 8859-1, it began to diverge starting in Windows 2.0 by adding additional characters in the 0x80 to 0x9F ...
A code point is a value or position of a character in a coded character set. A code space is the range of numerical values spanned by a coded character set. A code unit is the minimum bit combination that can represent a character in a character encoding (in computer science terms, it is the word size of the character encoding).
Blocks. As of version 15.1 of the Unicode Standard, 1,481 characters in the following 19 blocks are classified as belonging to the Latin script. [2] Basic Latin, 0000–007F. This block corresponds to ASCII. Latin-1 Supplement, 0080–00FF. This block and the ASCII part collectively corresponds to IANA Latin-1. Latin Extended-A, 0100–017F.
Extended ASCII is a repertoire of character encodings that include (most of) the original 96 ASCII character set, plus up to 128 additional characters. There is no formal definition of "extended ASCII", and even use of the term is sometimes criticized, [1] [2] [3] because it can be mistakenly interpreted to mean that the American National ...
ARPABET (also spelled ARPAbet) is a set of phonetic transcription codes developed by Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) as a part of their Speech Understanding Research project in the 1970s.
