ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is an early character encoding standard that represents each character as a unique number between 0 and 127.
ASCII only defines a limited set of characters, including the English alphabet (upper and lower case), numbers, and a set of common punctuation and control characters.
ASCII encoding assigns each character a unique 7-bit binary number. This allows each character to be represented as a single byte (8 bits) in memory.
