The most used character encoding format for text data in computers and on the internet is ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange).

Why is ASCII important?

  • The first significant character encoding system for data processing was ASCII.
  • The Unicode Worldwide Character Standard, generally known as Unicode, is used by the majority of contemporary computers.
  • It is a type of character encoding that supports ASCII encodings.
  • When it released "ASCII format for Network Interchange" as RFC 20 in 1969, the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) officially recognized ASCII as a standard for internet data.
  • The usage of ASCII for internet data was standardized by the request for comments (RFC) document, which was approved as a complete standard in 2015.
  • Technically speaking, Unicode has supplanted ASCII encoding.
  • However, ASCII text is compatible with UTF-8 since ASCII characters utilize the same encoding as the first 128 characters of UTF-8.
  • In RFC 3629 from 2003, the IETF standardized UTF-8 encoding for all web content.
  • These days, almost all computers encode data using ASCII or Unicode. The exceptions include a few IBM mainframes that employ the exclusive 8-bit Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code code (EBCDIC).
