ASCII is the representation of Binary Digits (0 & 1s) which are interpreted by Processor as meaningful data.
ASCII is a form of character encoding, so it can be used by your computer for any task.
Most text encodings are supersets of 7-bit ascii, so in short yes, valid ascii is also UTF8/16, lantin-1 and most other western text encodings, but ascii is most valuable as a data-encoding because it is independent of the endianness of the computer - it takes less space to store most data in binary, but the bit patterns for the same data will vary from computer to computer, making the data less portable

Using ASCII, the computer can hold much more text, and this way you can save more on the computer without the computer slowing down.
ASCII is popular because of the way a computer's architecture works. A standard ASCII keyboard displays all letters of the alphabet, but that is not enough to conform to the 32bit standard. So other characters were implemented and invented, and assigned their own numerals in HEX and Binary.
ASCII is code in which computer programs are written . it is the computer machine language.if write a program in any computer language thaen it will be converted in this code.
On Windows Alt + 0176 Hold down the Alt key and type the ASCII number for the degree sign which is 176. Use Charmap to find the ascii number.
ASCII is a 7 bit code. There are many nonstandard extensions of ASCII to 8 or 9 bits by various computer companies. ASCII was developed to replace the obsolete 6 bit BAUDOT teletype code and was never originally intended for use on computers.

ASCII is a 7 bit code developed and standardized by the telegraph industry for use on teletypes as a replacement for their older Baudot 5 bit code. The computing industry when they adopted ASCII extended it in several different nonstandard ways to an 8 bit code because after 1964 (when the IBM System 360 was introduced) the standard computer memory unit had become the 8 bit byte.
