Currently, the most widely used character set and Its Encoding in computers are American Standard Code for information interchange (American Standard Code for information interchange) developed by the National Bureau of Standards (ANSI ), it has been set as an international standard by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), known as the ISO 646 standard. It is applicable to all Latin characters, including 7-digit ASCII code and 8-digit ASCII code.
Because the number of one-bit binary data can be expressed as (21 =) two states: 0 and 1, while the number of two-bit binary data can be expressed as (22) = four states: 00, 01, 10, 11, and so on. A 7-bit binary number can represent (27 =) 128 States. Each State is uniquely encoded as a 7-bit binary code, corresponds to one character (or control code), which can be arranged into a decimal number ranging from 0 ~ 127. Therefore, the 7-bit ASCII code is encoded using the seven-bit binary number, which can represent 128 characters.
0th ~ 32 and 127th (34 in total) are control characters or communication special characters, such as control characters: LF (line feed), Cr (Press ENTER), FF (page feed), del (delete), BEL (zhenling); Communication special characters: Soh (Text header), EOT (Text tail), Ack (confirmation), etc;
33rd ~ 126 (94 in total) is a character, of which 48th ~ Number 57 is 0 ~ 9. 10 Arabic numerals; 65 ~ The 90 is 26 uppercase English letters, 97 ~ There are 26 lower-case English letters, and the remaining are some punctuation marks and operator numbers.
Note: In a computer's storage unit, an ascii code value occupies one byte (eight binary digits), and its highest bit (B7) is used as the parity bit. The so-called parity refersCodeA method used to check whether an error occurs during transmission. Generally, there are two methods: Odd checksum and even verification. Odd check rules: correct code must contain an odd number of 1 bytes. If the number is not an odd number, 1 is added to the highest bit B7. Even check rules: correct code: the number of 1 in a byte must be an even number. If the number is not an even number, 1 is added to the highest bit of B7.
For ease of query, the following table lists the ASCII code tables: Common ASCII code comparison tables.
128th ~ 255 is an extended character (not commonly used)
ASCII non-printable control characters
The numbers 0-31 in the ASCII table are assigned control characters to control peripheral devices such as printers. For example, 12 represents the form feed/New Page function. This command indicates that the printer jumps to the beginning of the next page.

ASCII print characters
The number 32-126 is assigned to characters that can be found on the keyboard. It appears when you view or print the document. The number 127 represents the DELETE command.

Expanded ASCII print characters
The expanded ASCII characters meet the requirements for more characters. The expanded ASCII contains the existing 128 characters in ASCII (numbers 0-32 are displayed in the middle), and an additional 128 characters are added, totaling 256. Even with these more characters, many languages still contain symbols that cannot be compressed to 256 characters. Therefore, there are some ASCII variants that include regional characters and symbols.
For example, many software Program The ASCII table (also known as ISO 8859-1) is used in North America, Western Europe, Australia, and Africa.
