16.1 ASCII table

he ASCII-code (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a 7-bit code, and thus comprises 128 characters. The eighth bit can either be set to zero, or used for extensions (characters above 128 however are no longer standardized) or for parity. In the latter case it would make all (2n+1) bit-errors recognizable.

The code is defined as follows:

Hex Dec ASCII Hex Dec ASCII Hex Dec ASCII Hex Dec ASCII

Note: Further important codings are the BCD code, EBCIDIC, UNICODE, as well as ISO-Latin (an 8-bit font with european accented characters etc.). The characters between 32 and 127 of the ASCII-code correspond to the definitions of the Atari system character set.
