What is the limitation of ASCII code?
Basic ASCII does not have enough bits to deal with languages with large character sets.
How does the ASCII code works?
ASCII is an abbreviation for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The ASCII code, which is used worldwide, is used to create computer coding languages so computers can interact with people.
What is the difference between ASCII and Unicode?
ASCII is a set of digital codes widely used as a standard fromat in the transfer of text. Unicode is an international encoding standard for used with different languages and scripts

What is the purpose of the ascii and extended ascii code?
The ASCII code 128 unique character ( 2 power 7 ). This was enough to represent all the (American and Britain English) characters in the keyboard. Here characters includes Alphabets, numbers, speical characters, symbols and Shift,ctrl,alt, tab (Non-Printable characters). Days rolled on. Other than American and British English, some other foreign languages occupied the space in the computer world. For ex, Korean, Japanesh. These languages extensively used more characters and symbols. Inorder to accompany all those letters/characters, the American Standard Institute enchanced the above ASCII code with one more bit. ie 2 power 8. So its now support 256 Unique characters. This is sufficient to represent all the characters in the all the countries languages. So this broadened ASCII is called Extended-Ascii. Regards, Rajan. P. Anna University.
What are the advantages of unicode?
Unicode is intended to account for as many languages and symbols as possible while ASCII only covers a small subset. (English and some European languages).
This coding system is designed to support international languages like Chinese and Japanese?
unicode or ansic
Why do need Unicode when you have Ascii?
ASCII only has 127 standard character codes and only supports the English alphabet. While you can use the extended ASCII character to provide a set of 256 characters and thus support other languages there's no guarantee that other systems will use the same code page, so the characters will not display correctly across all systems (the characters you see will depend upon which code page is currently in use). Moreover, some languages, particularly Chinese, have thousands of symbols that simply cannot be encoded in ASCII. UNICODE encoding supports all languages and the first 127 symbols are also the same as ASCII, so all characters appear the same across all systems. UTF8 is the most common UNICODE encoding in use today because it uses one-byte per character for the first 127 characters and is therefore fully compliant with non-extended ASCII. If the most-significant bit is set then the character is represented by 2 or more bytes, the combination of which maps to the UNICODE encoding.
Where do you find an ASCII table?
Websites such as asciitable.com and ascii-code.com provide ascii tables on their websites, along with toher information about ascii codes, their uses, and how to use them.
What is the ASCII value of 92?
\ is the character for 92 in ASCII.
How many ascii code are there?
128 ascii codes.
Is it true that different programming languages use different character set?
Strictly speaking, no. All programming languages use the standardised ASCII character sets by default, thus ensuring portability. Individual language implementations may allow other character sets to be used but its best to stick to the standard implementation. Although some modern languages default to UTF-8 to cater for foreign language symbols, UTF-8 is composed of ASCII characters and is also a subset of UTF-8.
