The American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a standard seven-bit code that was proposed by ANSI (American National Standards Institute) in 1963, and finalized in 1968.
The standard ASCII character set consists of 128 decimal numbers ranging from zero through 127 assigned to letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and the most common special characters (see ASCII Table).
As with most technology, it took a while to get a single standard for these extra characters and hence there are few varying 'extended' sets.
