ASCII (Business Intelligence)

American Standard Code for Information Interchange. An eight-bit code for character representation; includes seven bits plus parity.

ASCII (Cad)

(American Standard Code for Information Exchange)A data transmission
code that has been established as an American Standard by the Americam
Standards Association.

ASCII (Computer)

American Standard Code for Information Interchange
A standard that enables computer files and text, such as electronic mail messages, to be used on many different systems. Generally thought of as the characters typed from a keyboard, such as letters, numbers and standard punctuation found in English. Word processing programs can usually save files in an ASCII or binary (their default) format.

ASCII (Computer Technology)

American Standard Code for Information Interchange - Pronounced "ass-kee." This is a standard means of representing characters, consisting of 256 characters. The first 128 characters are standardized, and the first 32 of those are control codes, which don't really represent visible characters but rather codes that can be used for text formatting or actions, such as making the computer beep. After the 32 control codes, the next 96 standardized characters represent numbers, letters (both uppercase and lowercase), and standard punctuation marks. The last 128 characters represent different things on different platforms.

ASCII (Computing and Social Science)

A character encoding scheme used by many computers. The ASCII standard uses 7 of the 8 bits a byte to define the codes for 128 characters. Example: in ASCII, the number seven is a treated as a character and is encoded as: 00010111. Because a byte can have a total of 256 possible values, there are an additional 128 possible characters that can be encoded into a byte, but there is no formal ASCII standard for those additional 128 characters. Most IBM compatible personal computers do use an IBM "extended" character set that includes international characters, line and box drawing characters, Greek letters, and mathematical symbols. (ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.) See also EBCDIC .

ASCII (DTV)

American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standard code for transmitting data, consisting of 128 letters, numerals, symbols, and special codes, each of which is represented by a unique binary number. An ASCII word typically is 8 bits of binary data.

ASCII (Digital Imaging)

An acronym for the American Standard Code for information Interchange, which converts keyboard input into digital information. It covers all the printable and control characters.

ASCII (EU Aerospace Acronyms)

American Standard Code for Information Interchange

ASCII (Ham Radio)

American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The ASCII 7-bit code represents 128 characters including 32 control characters.

ASCII (Import Cars)

Abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a 7-Bit code that is widely used to represent informational data for processing and communications

ASCII (Internet)

(pronounced "Ask-ee") An acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, ASCII is an international standard in which numbers, letters, punctuation marks, symbols and control codes are assigned numbers from 0 to 127. Easily transferred over networks, ASCII is a plain, unadorned text without style or font specifications.

ASCII (Java)

American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A standard assignment of 7-bit numeric codes to characters. See also Unicode.

ASCII (Linux, Red Hat)

See American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII).

ASCII (Magnetic Tapes)

American Standard Code Information Interchange. An ANSI standard code for transferring information from one computer language to another.

ASCII (Phamaceutical Industry Acronyms)

American Standard Code for Information Interchange

ASCII (Photography)

An acronym for the American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a ANSI binary-coding scheme consisting of 128 seven bit pattern for printable characters and control of equipment function. ASCII is the basis for information exchange between many computer system.

ASCII (Real Time 3D)

The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (pronounced "ASS-key") is a common file format for text, very simple and thus readable by virtually every text editing program out there. The text on this page is written as an HTML file, which is saved in ASCII format.

ASCII (SEO Acronyms)

American Standard Code for Information Interchange

ASCII (Technology)

The worldwide standard for the code numbers used by computers to represent all the uppercase and lowercase Latin letters, numbers, punctuation, and other symbols. ASCII is used to describe files that are stored in plain text format. Pronounced "as-key".

ASCII (Telecommunications)

American Standard Code of Information Interchange. It uses 7 bits to represent all uppercase and lowercase characters, as well as numbers, punctuation marks, and other characters. ASCII often uses 8 bits in the form of bytes and ignores the first bit.

ASCII (Unicode)

(1) The American Standard Code for Information Interchange, a 7-bit coded character set for information interchange. It is the U.S. national variant of ISO/IEC 646, and is formally the U.S. standard ANSI X3.4. It was proposed by ANSI in 1963 and finalized in 1968. (2) The set of 128 Unicode characters from U+0000 to U+007F, including control codes, as well as graphic characters. (3) ASCII has been incorrectly used to refer to various 8-bit character encodings that include ASCII characters in the first 128 positions.
