The American Standard Code for Information Interchange, or ASCII, is a way for computers to encode symbols and characters via number codes. The standard version of ASCII includes 128 characters, including all letters of the English alphabet in both upper- and lower-case, the digits 0-9, and 33 'control codes' that are mostly obsolete holdovers from teletype machines. Each character is represented by a number from 0-127 (in decimal, although the system was commonly represented in binary, octal, or hexadecimal as well).
