In depth
A closer look at ASCII Encoding
ASCII Encoding is a small, simple application specially designed to enable users to set the bits of a byte individually, showing the corresponding ASCII character. The original ASCII code was a 7-bit code, being able to encode all characters of the English language and several special characters, such as a dot or a semicolon. However, this original code did not encode, for example, the umlauts of some of the European languages. Thus the ASCII code was extended by 1 bit (8-bit ASCII code) to encode these characters as well. The next extension of the ASCII code (from 8 bit to 16 bits) resulted in the UniCode which maps the characters of almost any language of the world. The ASCII code is a subset of the UniCode.
