Original ASCII codes were 7 bit or 8 bit?

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.


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.


What is the binary code for mike?

01101101011010010110101101100101 Assuming you are using ASCII encoding, using 8-bit characters on a Big Endian computer architecture, then it would be: 01101101 01101001 01101011 01100101 On a computer using Little Endian byte-order: 01100101 01101011 01101001 01101101 The binary representation of a character is heavily dependent on the particular character encoding method being used (ASCII was originally the most common encoding, with UTF-8 now superseding it)
