ASCII

The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (acronym: ASCII) is a character-encoding scheme based on the ordering of the w:English alphabet. ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that use text. Most modern character-encoding schemes, which support many more characters than did the original, are based on ASCII.
