Marian Schedenig 11,694 Posted September 26, 2003 Posted September 26, 2003 American Standard Code for Information Interchange.Marian - hoping his memory serves him right.
jsawruk 0 Posted September 27, 2003 Posted September 27, 2003 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).
Marian Schedenig 11,694 Posted September 28, 2003 Posted September 28, 2003 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
