Yes Marian, that's correct. It's an 8bit numerical coding standard for character display. Compare with other standards such as ANSI (also 8-bit), and Unicode (16-bit).

I've never figured out if there are different ASCII standard, but typically, only the 7 lower bits are standardized. The MSB of the byte differs and is usually used for special localized characters, like German umlauts.

Marian - happy that Java supports Unicode. 8O
