  ASCII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange), generally pronounced [ˈæski], (ASK-ee) is a character set and a character encoding based on the Roman alphabet as used in modern English (see English alphabet).
ASCII is, strictly, a seven-bit code, meaning that it uses the bit patterns representable with seven binary digits (a range of 0 to 127 decimal) to represent character information.
At the time ASCII was introduced, many computers dealt with eight-bit groups (bytes or, more specifically, octets) as the smallest unit of information; the eighth bit was commonly used as a parity bit for error checking on communication lines or other device-specific functions.

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange, generally pronounced /"{ski/ (X-SAMPA)) is a character set and a character encoding based on the Roman alphabet as used in modern English and other Western European languages.
The first thirty-two codes (numbers 0-31 decimal) in ASCII are reserved for control characters: codes that were not originally intended to carry information, but rather to control devices (such as printers) that make use of ASCII.
Many of the ASCII control codes are to mark data packets, or to control a data transmission protocol (i.e., ENQuiry (effectively, "any stations out there?"), ACKnowledge, Negative AcKnowledge, Start Of Header, Start Of Text, End Of Text, etc).
