ASCII

What is ASCII? What does it stand for, and what is it used for? What is another popular encoding schema and how is it different?

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange and it is the language the computer uses to communicate with the user.Another popular encoding schema is Unicode and Unicode  UTF-8 uses one byte for any ASCII character, all of which have the same code values in both UTF-8 and ASCII encoding, and up to four bytes for other characters.
