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.

What else can I help you with?
How many types of ASCII Code explain it?
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.
What is oem extended ascii?
Extended ASCII is 8-bit encoding which is wider than standard ASCII and also includes all characters from standard ASCII encoding.ASCII is 7-bit, 128 possible values; Extended ASCII is 8-bit , 256 possible value;128 first characters of Extended ASCII is the same as ASCII, next 128 are additional. This why it is called Extended ASCII.What is ASCII?ASCII is mainly English language characters encoding, that is used for representation of text information.
What is the code of the space in the ASCII code?
32 is the ASCII Code for a space.
What is the ASCII code of 'd'?
ASCII refers to the characterset. So the ASCII code of 'd' is 'd' If you meant binary code it is: 01100100
What is the ASCII code for e?
The ASCII code for capital E is 069 and the ASCII code for regular e is 101.hope this help.
How many bits are in extended ASCII byte?
An extended ASCII byte (like all bytes) contains 8 bits, or binary digits.
Show how your surname would be stored using ASCII code?
Stored? It would not be stored as ASCII -- ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is in common use in the US (EBCDIC - Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code is another type of ASCII and is used in many European countries.)My name is, for example, Bill TheCat - TheCat is my surname and is represented (not stored) in ASCII as "TheCat". Computers store data as 0s and 1s (in BINARY, which is not the same as EBCDIC) format.
What is the code of the letter B in the ASCII code?
The ASCII code of letter B is 66
How many ascii code are there?
128 ascii codes.
What is the difference between 7-bit ASCII and 8-bit ASCII?
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.
Is ASCII codes vary machine to machine?
No.ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It couldn't be called a standard if it varied from machine to machine.Note that this only applies to the core ASCII values. Some machines/programs/formats will use a subset or extended set of ASCII codes.
What is the purpose of a ASCII code?
ASCII-represents letters, numbers and symbols in a 7 bit code of 1's and 0's called binary. It is a standard developed in the 1960's for information interchange between data processing equipment (teletype and computers)
