A byte is a sequence of 8 zeroes or ones in a binary system, which is known as a bit. One byte can store one alphanumeric character.

How is ASCII used to represent text in a computer system?

ASCII is a simple (and increasingly obsolete) code which maps alphanumeric characters to numbers in the 0..255 range. Thus, any phrase expressed as a series of these alphanumeric characters can be expressed as a series of bytes with the corresponding numeric values, one byte per character. For example, the letter A is represented by a byte of numerical decimal value 65. It is characteristic for the ASCII code that it supports a limited alphabet of 256 different characters. While this might seem much in light of the fact that the 26 characters cover the A-Z alphabet, codes are assigned to lower-case and upper-case characters, digits, punctuation marks, a wide range of other characters including some simple symbols, and a range of 'foreign characters.' With today's demands on localized software and support for the local alphabet, the ASCII code becomes increasingly obsolete because it cannot support a great number of non-English alphabets.
