The History of The ASCII code:

American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII), pronounced aski, is a character
encoding based on the English alphabet. As computers can only understand numbers, the ASCII
code is the numerical representation of alphabetic and special characters, such as 'a' and/or the
'@' symbol.

Historically, ASCII developed from telegraphic codes and its first commercial use was as a
seven-bit telegraph code promoted by Bell data services. The first edition of the standard was
published in 1963, a major revision in 1967, and the most recent update in 1986. Compared to
earlier telegraph codes, the proposed Bell code and ASCII were both ordered for more
convenient sorting (i.e., alphabetization) of lists, and added features for devices other than
teleprinters.

ASCII includes definitions for 128 characters: 33 are non-printing, mostly obsolete control
characters that affect how text is processed; 94 are printable characters, and the space is
considered an invisible graphic.

The ASCII character encoding (or a compatible extension) is used on nearly all common
computers, especially personal computers and workstations. (6774) .

How can type or write using the keyboard

some letter or symbol ? - How to obtain
different characters ? -
In order to type some characters, letters or symbols, not included in your keyboard, portable
personal computers, notebooks, laptops, etc. You have to do :

For instance to type the character, letter o symbol "®" : ( Registered trademark symbol )

1) Press the "ALT KEY" in your keyboard and hold it, do not release the key.

2) In the numeric keypad type the numbers "169", that correspond to the ASCII code for the
character, letter or symbol "®" .

3) it is ready. (6774) .
