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 because the other one like eating your system up
ASCII is the representation of Binary Digits (0 & 1s) which are interpreted by Processor as meaningful data.
Ascii
First of all ASCII is encoding system that tells how binary data from file could be represented as text. Is was and still is very widely used starting 1960s. Standard ASCII encoding is 7-bits encoding allowing 128 values, while Extended ASCII is 8-bits encoding which allows 256 values, that is 128 more characters in the table. First 128 Extended ASCII table characters is the same as ASCII table, next 128 is additional characters.
Ascii
There are primarily two types of ASCII code: standard ASCII and extended ASCII. Standard ASCII uses 7 bits to represent 128 characters, including control characters, digits, uppercase and lowercase letters, and some symbols. Extended ASCII expands this to 256 characters by using the 8th bit, allowing for additional characters, symbols, and graphical representations, which vary by encoding system. Common extended ASCII sets include ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252, which accommodate various languages and special characters.
Ascii is not a protocol - it describes a computer system's character set. Communication with a Modbus PLC requires an understanding of how to communicate and the protocol (set of rules) does describe this. Ascii is a set of values describing the Latin codepage set that can represent certain characters in data. There are no communications "rules" with Ascii, just a data representation.
When files are transferred in ASCII mode, the transferred data is considered to contain only ASCII formatted text. The party that is receiving the transferred data is responsible for translating the format of the received text to one that is compatible with their operating system.
The ASCII became a common form of text display from the 1960's and remained popular till the middle of the last decade. It was surpassed by UTF-8 which was released in 2007.

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.
