NAME

       ascii - the ASCII character set encoded in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal

DESCRIPTION

       ASCII  is  the  American  Standard  Code for Information Interchange.  It is a 7-bit code.  Many 8-bit codes (such as ISO 8859-1, the Linux
       default character set) contain ASCII as their lower half.  The international counterpart of ASCII is known as ISO 646.

       The following table contains the 128 ASCII characters.

       C program 'X' escapes are noted.

NOTES

   History
       An ascii manual page appeared in Version 7 of AT&T UNIX.

       On older terminals, the underscore code is displayed as a left arrow, called backarrow, the caret is displayed as an up-arrow and the  ver-
       tical bar has a hole in the middle.

       Uppercase  and  lowercase  characters  differ by just one bit and the ASCII character 2 differs from the double quote by just one bit, too.
       That made it much easier to encode characters mechanically or with a non-microcontroller-based electronic keyboard  and	that  pairing  was
       found on old teletypes.

       The ASCII standard was published by the United States of America Standards Institute (USASI) in 1968.
