  Ascii Table - ASCII character codes and html, octal, hex and decimal chart conversion
Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort.
ASCII was developed a long time ago and now the non-printing characters are rarely used for their original purpose.
ASCII was actually designed for use with teletypes and so the descriptions are somewhat obscure.

  More Info on ASCII Code
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.
Code 32 is the "space" character, denoting the space between words, which is produced by the large space bar of a keyboard.
While ASCII is defined in terms of 7-bit codes, Unicode and the UCS are defined in terms of relatively abstract "code points": non-negative integer numbers that can be mapped, using different encoding forms and schemes, to sequences of 1 or more 8-bit bytes.

 ASCII - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
ASCII developed from telegraphic codes and first entered commercial use as a seven-bit teleprinter code promoted by Bell data services in 1963.
ASCII reserves the first 32 codes (numbers 0–31 decimal) for control characters: codes originally intended not to carry printable information, but rather to control devices (such as printers) that make use of ASCII, or to provide meta-information about data streams such as those stored on magnetic tape.
Code 32, the "space" character, denotes the space between words, as produced by the large space-bar of a keyboard.

 Code 128 Barcode
The codes are divided into three subsets A, B, and C. There are three separate start codes to indicate which subset will be used; in addition, each subset includes control characters to switch to another subset in the middle of a barcode.
In Subset A and B, the numeric value of a character is its ASCII code minus 32.
Generally speaking, in Subset A if the checksum is between 0 and 63 inclusive, add the checksum and the ASCII code for a space (32) to obtain the character code.

 Ascii Concept
ASCII text information is made up of individual characters strung together in a series like beads on a simple necklace.
Since ASCII is a seven bit code, and most computer memory bytes are eight bits, the ASCII code usually has an extra eighth bit added to the LEFT end of the binary number.
The extra codes were used to represent special foreign letters and special graphics shapes (that could fit in the same space occupied by a normal character).

Character codes are a form of information compression, to accomodate the extreme lack of bandwidth available in paper, ink, or the tapping armature of a telegraph.
It is a variable-length code, designed so that the most common characters are short -- the letter "E" is a single symbol, while "1", occurring less often, is five symbols (considering that for human purposes the dit or dah and the brief space that follows it is a unit).
Codes were generated by a device with five piano-like keys, operated with two fingers on the left hand, and three from the right.

 What is ASCII? - Knowledge Base
ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
If a file is described as ASCII text, this means you can view the contents of the file, change it with an editor, or print it with a printer.
For example, the character for the number 1 has the code 49, capital letter A has the code 65, and a blank space has the code 32.

 Ascii Codes
For example, the ASCII code for the capital letter "A" is always represented by the order number 65, which is easily representable using 0s and 1s in binary: 65 expressed as a binary number is 1000001.
The standard ASCII table defines 128 character codes (from 0 to 127), of which, the first 32 are control codes (non-printable), and the remaining 96 character codes are representable characters:
The two most used extended ASCII character sets are the one known as OEM, that comes from the default character set incorporated by default in the IBM-PC and the other is the ANSI extend ASCII which is used by most recent operating systems.

But in the case of ASCII code, it use evokes not only a peculiar episode in the history of computer culture but a number of earlier forms of media and communication technologies as well.
ASCII code was itself an extension of an earlier code invented by Jean-Maurice-Emile Baudot in 1874.
ASCII code extends Baudot code by using eight-unit combinations (that is, eight "bits" or one "byte") to represent 256 different symbols.

 A tutorial on character code issues
All the character codes discussed above are "8-bit codes", eight bits are sufficient for presenting the code numbers and in practice the encoding (at least the normal encoding) is the obvious (trivial) one where each code position (thereby, each character) is presented as one octet (byte).
Most ASCII characters are presented as such, each as one octet, but for obvious reasons some octet values must be reserved for use as "escape" octets, specifying the octet together with a certain number of subsequent octets forms a multi-octet encoded presentation of one character.
Quite often they are used in combination with codes for graphic characters, so that a device driver is expected to interpret the combination as a specific command and not display the graphic character(s) contained in it.

 ASCII - a definition from Whatis.com
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).
ASCII was developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

 Ascii vs. Binary Files
If you look up an ASCII table, you will discover the ASCII code for 0x63, 0x61, 0x74 (the 0x merely indicates the values are in hexadecimal, instead of decimal/base 10).
Thus, the ASCII file might contain 8 bytes (6 for the characters, 2 for the spaces), and the output binary file would contain 3 bytes, one byte per hex pair.
ASCII is convenient, because it tends to be human-readable, but it can use up a lot of space.
