Ascii | Encoding [best]
: Carriage Return, which moves the cursor back to the start of the line.
: Uses 8 bits (one full byte), allowing for 256 characters. The additional 128 slots are often used for special symbols, accented characters (like é ), or graphical borders. The ASCII Character Set Breakdown ascii encoding
ASCII is a character encoding standard that assigns a unique numerical value to 128 specific characters. At its core, computers only understand binary (0s and 1s). ASCII serves as the translation layer, mapping human-readable characters like 'A' or '!' to a 7-bit binary sequence that a processor can digest. The 7-Bit vs. 8-Bit Distinction : Carriage Return, which moves the cursor back
: Uses 7 bits to represent 128 characters (numbered 0 to 127). : Carriage Return
