ASCII AND UNICODE
ASCII and Unicode are both character encoding systems used to represent text in
computers—but they differ a lot in scope and capability.
🔤 ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
Developed in the 1960s
Uses 7 bits → can represent 128 characters
Includes:
English letters (A–Z, a–z)
Digits (0–9)
Basic symbols (!, @, #, etc.)
Control characters (like newline)
👉 Example:
A = 65
a = 97
0 = 48
✅ Advantages:
Simple and fast
