ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is composed of 7 bits per character, which allows for 128 unique characters, including letters, digits, and control characters. However, it is commonly stored in an 8-bit byte, meaning each ASCII character typically occupies 1 byte of memory in most computer systems. Thus, while ASCII itself is 7 bits, it is generally represented as 1 byte in storage.
