(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange, generally pronounced ass-key) is a character set and a character encoding based on the Roman alphabet as used in modern English. It is most commonly used by computers and other communication equipment to represent text and by control devices that work with text.

Variants Of ASCII
The international spread of computer technology led to many variations and extensions to the ASCII character set, since ASCII does not include accented letters and other symbols necessary to write most languages besides English that use Roman-based alphabets. International standard ISO 646 (1972) was the first attempt to remedy this problem, although it regrettably created compatibility problems as well. ISO 646 was still a seven-bit character set, and since no additional codes were available, some were re-assigned in language-specific variants. See ISO 646 for details.
Improved technology brought out-of-band means to represent the information formerly encoded in the eighth bit of each byte, freeing this bit to add another 128 additional character codes for new assignments. Eight-bit standards such as ISO 8859 enabled a broader range of languages to be represented, but were still plagued with incompatibilities and limitations. Still, ISO 8859-1 and original 7-bit ASCII are the most common character encodings in use today. Unicode, with a much larger character repertoire, is quickly supplanting ISO 8859 and ASCII in many places, but it only maps code points to characters, and does not necessarily require that each code point be represented by a single 7-bit or 8-bit byte, as ASCII or ISO 8859 do. To the extent that it maps characters to code points, though, Unicode is backward compatible: the first 127 code points of Unicode are the same as in ASCII, and the first 256 code points of Unicode are the same as in ISO 8859-1.
The portmanteau word ASCIIbetical has evolved to describe the collation of data in ASCII code order rather than genuine alphabetical order (which requires some tricky computation, and varies with language).
ASCII contains many characters which were not commonly used, or at least spoken of, outside of the computing context; the "popularization" of these characters required that names be agreed upon for them. Some of these names are more whimsical than others. (See especially the end of the list.)
ASCIIZ or ASCIZ is an adjective used to refer to a null-terminated ASCII string.

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
A text encoding is a method of representing a piece of text as a sequence of codes (from a character encoding) for the purpose of computer storage or electronic communication of that text. While character encodings like ASCII represent individual characters of a language, a text encoding has to represent much larger things like articles and books, and must represent not only the characters they contain but the structure and organization of the text, and perhaps information about the text or its appearance. Common examples are HTML and RTF which represent texts in natural languages, and XML, which can represent many kinds of text not necessarily intended to be human-readable (the contents of a database, for example).In general there are two basic forms of text encoding that are widely used. One is to use a markup language which adds markers to the text itself. Markup has the advantage of being easy to represent, but has the disadvantage of being hard to view without an "aware" reader application. HTML is generally unreadable if opened in a text editor for instance, at least to those unfamiliar with the format. Another method is to use "pointers" into the text, which is left in the original format. This has the advantage of allowing the content to be easily readable in any editor, although you lose the "styling". On the downside, editing such a document in a non-aware application typically leaves the pointers pointing to the wrong data. Today the majority of text encoding systems appear to use markup, although whether by choice of simple because "everyone else" does is open to question.
Though character encodings like ASCII and Unicode are not, strictly speaking, text encodings in their own right, they may serve as very simple text encodings if one wishes only to preserve the English content of a document and not necessarily its formatting. By far the most common text encoding now in use is what might informally be called "Plain ASCII", which involves simply encoding a text as a stream of ASCII characters. The specifics of how this is done vary greatly: for example, the end of a text line might be encoded as ASCII code 10 ("line feed" or "new line") as is common practice on Unix machines, or as ASCII code 13 ("carriage return") as is common on Apple machines, or as both (the sequence <13, 10> is used to end lines on MS-DOS based machines and many others, while the rather rare sequence <10, 13> was used by some Acorn machines). Some texts also use this line-end sequence inside paragraphs (with a blank line between paragraphs) while some do not. Also, various texts in this form interpret code 9 ("tab") and other control characters differently. None of these methods specify how to identify text structure like headings and tables, or special text forms like italics. Text in this format is basically readable by any computer though some work might be needed to accommodate local variations, and all information besides the actual words of the text will be lost.

Lexicography | Devil's Dictionary | ABRACADABRA. By Abracadabra we signify An infinite number of things. 'Tis the answer to What? and How? and Why? And Whence? and Whither? -- a word whereby The Truth (with the comfort it brings) Is open to all who grope in night, Crying for Wisdom's holy light. Whether the word is a verb or a noun Is knowledge beyond my reach. I only know that 'tis handed down. From sage to sage, From age to age -- An immortal part of speech! Of an ancient man the tale is told That he lived to be ten centuries old, In a cave on a mountain side. (True, he finally died.) The fame of his wisdom filled the land, For his head was bald, and you'll understand His beard was long and white And his eyes uncommonly bright. Philosophers gathered from far and near To sit at his feat and hear and hear, Though he never was heard To utter a word But "Abracadabra, abracadab, Abracada, abracad, Abraca, abrac, abra, ab!" 'Twas all he had, 'Twas all they wanted to hear, and each Made copious notes of the mystical speech, Which they published next -- A trickle of text In the meadow of commentary. Mighty big books were these, In a number, as leaves of trees; In learning, remarkably -- very! He's dead, As I said, And the books of the sages have perished, But his wisdom is sacredly cherished. In Abracadabra it solemnly rings, Like an ancient bell that forever swings. O, I love to hear That word make clear Humanity's General Sense of Things. Jamrach Holobom |
