ASCIIencoded
ASCIIencoded, often written as ASCII-encoded, refers to data that has been encoded using the ASCII character set or that contains only ASCII characters. The ASCII character set comprises 128 code points: 33 control characters and 94 printable characters, including the basic Latin letters, digits, and common punctuation. In 7-bit ASCII, each character is represented by a single byte with values from 0x00 to 0x7F. Data that is ASCII-encoded is plain text and is widely portable across systems that support ASCII.
Applications and use cases for ASCIIencoded data include source code, configuration files, and network protocols designed
Limitations and compatibility considerations exist. ASCII cannot represent letters with diacritics, non-Latin scripts, or most emoji.
Origins and variants: ASCII originated in the 1960s as a standardized 7-bit code for information interchange.
