	ASCII Table / Extended ASCII Codes
		ASCII - The American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a standard seven-bit code that was proposed by ANSI in 1963, and finalized in 1968.
		ASCII was established to achieve compatibility between various types of data processing equipment.
		The Extended ASCII Character Set also consists of 128 decimal numbers and ranges from 128 through 255 (using the full 8-bits of the byte) representing additional special, mathematical, graphic, and foreign characters.

	Extended ASCII -- Facts, Info, and Encyclopedia article (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Since ASCII is a seven-bit code and most computers manipulate data in eight-bit (A sequence of 8 bits (enough to represent one character of alphanumeric data) processed as a single unit of information) bytes, many extensions use the additional 128 codes available by using all eight bits of each byte.
		Because these ASCII extensions have so many variants, it is necessary to identify which set is being used for a particular text for it to be interpreted correctly.
		However, because the most-used characters (those in ASCII, the seven-bit code points) are common to all sets--even most proprietary ones like the Macintosh--failure to correctly identify a character set often suffers no adverse consequences if the user is typing in English.

		ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange, generally pronounced ass-key) is a character set and a character encoding based on the Roman alphabet as used in modern English and other Western European languages.
		ASCII is a seven-bit code, meaning that it uses the integers representable with seven binary digits (a range of 0 to 127 decimal) to represent information.
		ASCII was first published as a standard in 1963 by the American Standards Association (ASA), which later became ANSI.

		The term natural language is used to distinguish languages spoken by humans for general-purpose communication from constructs such as computer-programming languages or the languages used in the study of formal logic, especially mathematical logic.
		Since ASCII is a seven-bit code and most computers manipulate data in eight-bit bytes, many extensions use the additional 128 codes available by using all eight bits of each byte.
		IBM introduced eight-bit extended ASCII codes on the original IBM PC and later produced variations for different languages and cultures.

	ASCII Art , Art Links Gallery
		ASCII art is shared freely, to remove the artist's tag and steal the art or claim it as your own is very disrespectful to the artist and their generousity in sharing their art.
		In the standard ASCII character set, the first 32 values are assigned to communication and printer control codes—nonprinting characters, such as backspace, carriage return, and tab—that are used to control the way information is transferred from one computer to another or from a computer to a printer.
		Although ASCII lacks both the accent marks and the special characters used in European languages and is unable to represent characters in non-Roman alphabets used in many languages, it is internationally important because it is the most universal character-coding system.

		The extended ASCII codes were used by early computers that were only capable of alphnumerical block display, and not capable of per pixel addressing.
		Extended ASCII codes were made to include usefull characters that could be used to create borders and lines.
		Extended ASCII codes do not serve the same usefullness to todays computers as they did a while ago, so support for extended ASCII in newer computers is selective.

	Extended ASCII for HTML, introduction (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-19)
		Although HTML's use of extended ASCII seems to be emerging as the standard, different browsers and different computers running the same browser disagree on some of the characters in extended ASCII.
		A problem with using quote marks from extended ASCII, even by means of numeric values, is that they are in the range of values, roughly and#128; through and#159;, where things are still rather unstable.
		Extended ASCII characters in these fonts are so at odds with their usual graphic values that their names, if any, give no clue as to the characters they generate.

		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.

		The term ''extended ASCII'' (or ''high ASCII'') describes eight-bit or larger character_encodings that include the standard seven-bit ASCII characters as well as others.
		Because the number of written symbols used in common natural_languages far exceeds the limited range of the ASCII code, many extensions to it have been used to facilitate handling of those languages.
		A set with less characters but more letter and diacritic combinations was used by the Digital VT-220 terminal based on draft versions of a ISO standard that was being developed.

		The first plane if international standard ISO 10646 and of Unicode (these standards being kept synchronized with each other) is a 16-bit code, meaning that it can represent 65,536 characters instead of the 128 of ASCII or 256 of extended ASCII.

	ASCII Character Set
		Pronounced as-key, ASCII is a sequential formula for representing English characters as numbers, with each letter assigned a number from 0 to 127; however, not all of those are really printable characters.
		For example, the ASCII code for an upper case A is decimal 65; the lower case a adds decimal 32 to that and is 97.
		ASCII control characters are actually commands for the terminal, monitor, computer, I/O devices, printer or other peripherals to do something.
