||||
A slightly abriged version of the Linux ``ASCII'' man(1) page.

|

\section{NAME}
|
||||
|
||||
ascii - ASCII character set encoded in octal, decimal, and hexadecimal
|
||||
|
||||
\section{DESCRIPTION}
|
||||
|
||||
ASCII is the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is
|
||||
a 7-bit code. Many 8-bit codes (e.g., ISO 8859-1) contain ASCII as
|
||||
their lower half. The international counterpart of ASCII is known as
|
||||
ISO 646-IRV.
|
||||
|
||||
The following table contains the 128 ASCII characters.
|
||||
|
||||
C program '\verb@\X@' escapes are noted.

\section{NOTES}
|
||||
\subsection{History}
|
||||
|
||||
An ascii manual page appeared in Version 7 of AT\&T UNIX.
|
||||
|
||||
On older terminals, the underscore code is displayed as a left arrow,
|
||||
called backarrow, the caret is displayed as an up-arrow and the
|
||||
vertical bar has a hole in the middle.
|
||||
|
||||
Uppercase and lowercase characters differ by just one bit and the ASCII
|
||||
character 2 differs from the double quote by just one bit, too. That
|
||||
made it much easier to encode characters mechanically or with a
|
||||
non-microcontroller-based electronic keyboard and that pairing was found on
|
||||
old teletypes.
|
||||
|
||||
The ASCII standard was published by the United States of America Stan-
|
||||
dards Institute (USASI) in 1968.
