Why are languages like ASCII important?

ASCII (American Standard Codes for Information Interchange) is a character set, not a language. It helps in the process of allowing symbols represented on your keyboard to be printed on the screen. All letters, digits, punctuation symbols and many other things are given codes. These codes are standardised so they can work on different computers. The ASCII Code for "a" is 97. The ASCII Code for "A" is 65. If you open Notepad, you can demonstrate this. First make sure the Num Lock light is on. Hold down the ALT key, and keeping it held down type 65 on the Numeric keyboard (that is on the right of your keyboard and not the numbers just above the main part of the keyboard. AFter typing 65, let go of the Alt key. An A should appear in Notepad. Try this for other numbers, using numbers between 0 and 255. You will be able to get characters and symbols that are not on your keyboard. Different countries use different kinds of keyboards, as their languages are different. A character like á will not appear on keyboards in some countries, but will in others. Some characters are in different places on keyboards from different countries. The @ is on the key 2 on American keyboards, but on a keyboard in Ireland or Britain, the " is on the 2 key. The @ character is where the " is on an American keyboard. The software in your computer is able to recognise what each key is defined to do. If you change the software setting on your computer, you can have your keyboard give different characters than the ones that are on the keys. ASCII only has a limited set of characters. A computers are used in more countries, they need to be able to deal with a lot more characters. The Chinese and Japanese languages have thousands of different characters, but ASCII does not support them. To use them you need a character set called Unicode which is on modern computers. A Chinese person can use a keyboard that does not have those symbols on them, but still be able to type them, if they have the software installed.

Are computers in the US the same as those in Europe?

For the most part, yes, but there are a few differences. Different European countries have different keyboards, as their languages are different and so they have different letters in their alphabet. Even the English speaking countries use a slightly different keyboard. The " key and the @ key are swapped round on the keyboards in Britain and Ireland, compared to the US. Some other keys have symbols arranged differently too, but most characters are in the same location. Other settings will be different on computers in Europe, because the way currencies are different and dates are shown different. The internal workings of the computers would be the same, but the voltage would be different, so different plugs are used.
