Talk:ASCII/Archive 1

This page is an archive of past discussions. Do not edit the contents of this page. If you wish to start a new discussion or revive an old one, please do so on the current talk page.

This review resulted in the passing of a new version of the article.

This was the promoted version and here's the diff. Looks like it's been more or less completely rewritten. Referencing looks inadequate for an article of this size, and the "see also" is too big. I support passing this review. Tuf-Kat 04:38, 2 December 2005 (UTC)

• Many of the references were improperly put in the external links section. I fix some of it by moving them and I removed the link to Bob Bemer's website as it is either being blocked or no longer archived. I also collapsed the "see also" section into parallel lines. The article looks like featured quality. --maclean25 22:49, 17 December 2005 (UTC)

ASCII is generally accounted the most successful software standard ever promulgated.

What does this really mean? If first computers were mostly build in

Well actually ASCII is only a successful for English, for other languages there has been a prolifertation of competing codes due to the 8-Bit limitation. Probably a good code to go for now is UTF-8. --HJH

Or, more to the point, Unicode, with UTF-8 as its character encoding. And 7-bit ASCII is a subset of Unicode, and also of UTF-8.

That was my line. I didn't say it was good, I said it was successful. I doubt there is a single serious text-handling application of any kind that doesn't recognize and process ASCII. I doubt there is any other software standard anywhere else, graphics, network, whatever, of which the equivalent statement is true. Ortolan88

Yes, I do believe that too. I was just asking, cause I am curious. There must be a certain key on which they have selected other non-alphabetical characters from the set of the Latin alphabet. Perhaps I exaggerated saying the code is obsolete today. Yes, it is perfect for a Latin based languages and specially for English. And in fact it is possible to (re)build such software standard elsewhere - but I guess this won't never happen. Thank you HJH and Ortolan88 for your answers. Long ago, when PC were not so common as these days, I visited one older friend who had made his own OS and his own ASCII-like code, but this is a history. --

ASCII is indeed a very successful standard. Today the plain ASCII files (with ASCII characters extended to 8 bits by adding one zero bit) are the only text encoding that will be interpreted correctly by all computers of the world. — Monedula 08:26, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Strictly speaking, pure ASCII (that is the 7-bit standard) is not used much. Enhancements/extensions like ISO-8859-1 and UTF-8 are used, but not pure strict ASCII because it is not good enough outside the USA. The use of ASCII for programming languages (and the usage of []{}\| in them) have required the preservation of ASCII for the ASCII extensions since one want to preserve existing well-working software code. -- BIL (talk) 22:39, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

I might get around to this myself, but we need a mention, if not a better explanation of the differences / relationships between, the following:

• ASA ASCII (1963)
• ANSI X3.4-1968
• ANSI X3.4-1977
• ANSI X3.4-1986
• ISO 646:1967, including an IRV and two 6-bit subsets
• ISO 646:1972, including ISO 646-US, ISO 646-CA, ISO 646-CN, ISO 646-CU, ISO 646-DE, ISO 646-DK, ISO 646-ES, ISO 646-FR, ISO 646-HU, ISO 646-IT, ISO 646-JP, ISO 646-KR, ISO 646-NO, ISO 646-PT, ISO 646-SE, ISO 646-UK, ISO 646-YU, and ISO 646-IRV
• ISO 646:1983
• ISO/IEC 646:1991
• ECMA-6 (1965, 1967, 1970, 1973, 1983, 1991 editions)
• CCITT Recommendation V.3 (International Telegraph Alphabet No. 5) (1972?)
• DIN 66003 (1974)

I've now made an entry for

ISO 646 national variations. A bit rough, and far from complete - there is an external link at the end of the page where more specific info for a number of languages may be extracted. -- Egil

…as well as the IANA registry's names for ANSI X3.4-1968, and the fact that they are the names approved on the Internet, such as in the "charset" parameter of a MIME header or in the encoding declaration of an XML document or parsed general entity. I finally got around to adding this. — mjb 23:10, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

…oh, and the IANA names for the other variants.

More aliases (same as V.3?):

• IRA5 (CCITT International Reference Alphabet No. 5)
• IA5 (CCITT International Alphabet No. 5)

The standards listed in this talk section are IMHO more important info than the aliases for mime charsets listed under "Aliases" in the article. I suggest removing "Aliases" and to add to "Variants" a list of standard names like the above. (IF we allow standards with tiny differences to ASCII, then there should be a parentesis about the difference.) -- David A 195.84.167.2 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 22:10, 19 December 2007 (UTC)

Does someone have an official electronic copy of any of the X3.4 versions (not ECMA-6) that they can share, so we can get the whole IRV, C0, G0 stuff summarized? (It's not important enough to me to shell out my own money) — mjb 22:17 Nov 1, 2002 (UTC)

Dik T. Winter's info on character code standards describes ASCII-1963, ASCII-1965, USASCII-8, ASCII-1967, and the two 6-bit subsets of ISO 646:1967. — mjb 6 July 2005 09:57 (UTC)

ASCII was published as ASA X3.4-1963. This version did specify codes for lower case characters.

"did specify"? 210.170.202.147 (talk) 01:56, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

You say: ...the first 127 code points of each code are the same as ASCII, and the first 256 code points of Unicode are the same as ISO 8859-1. is this the truth? How does it match with UTF-8? An ASCII encoded file is a valid UTF-8 file, but an ISO 8859-1 encoded file is not. --Keichwa 20:25 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

UTF-8 is an encoding of Unicode, which is a character set. The first 256 code points of Unicode do match with the 256 code points of ISO 8859-1, however UTF-8's encoding of a series of those code points into a byte stream is different from ISO 8859-1's for the 128-255 range, using two bytes instead of one. --

Brion

20:29 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

You sure? I thought that other characters like Japanese ones are expressed in three bytes but not two. I am just unsure. See http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/unicode.html -- Taku 20:32 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

Yes, I'm quite sure. :) UTF-8 is an encoding, not a character set. The Unicode characters at code points 128-255 are, by definition, the same as the ISO 8859-1 characters at code points 128-255. UTF-8 encodes these characters in two bytes (and various other characters which are not in ISO 8859-1 in from 2 to 6 bytes). These two-byte values are, obviously, not bit-for-bit identical to one-byte ISO 8859-1 encodings of the same code points. See

Brion

20:37 Feb 24, 2003 (UTC)

Umm doesn't UTF-8 as currently defined stop at 4 bytes (iirc it was 6 in the version that supported the old limit of UCS)? Plugwash 01:26, 26 December 2005 (UTC)

Anyone knows how to hide the underscore characters appearing for links in the character chart ? Lets have just the blue colour and make the underscore vanish. Jay 14:18, 2 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I don't think you can do this for individual pages. You can turn off all underscores in your

User preferences though. Angela

It is incorrect to imply that ASCII has an "accent" character. It has an apostrophe (in the 1983 version, which is aligned with ISO 646). It has a "grave accent" character in that same version. It does not have an "acute accent". Many Unix users do not much care for the (IMHO mistaken) changes made in the post-1978 versions of ASCII for ISO 646 alignment, particularly the deletion of the alternate interpretations "open single quote" and "close single quote" for ` and ', respectively, which were valid in the 1967 and 1978 versions, and are emphatically quotation marks and not accents or apostrophes in Unix programming, TeX, and the StandardEncoding vector in PostScript. 18.24.0.120 20:36, 6 Dec 2003 (UTC)

The table for control characters has the "Printable representation" column.  There is a font prescription there, saying style="font-family:'lucida sans unicode','arial unicode ms'".  I understand the reason of this, but still it is incorrect.  Font prescriptions may be used only if there indeed is some reason to use this typeface, and not that one.  But here we only want a character to be displayed, and not to be displayed using a specific typeface.  So it is the browser's responsibility to find an appropriate font for this, not Wikipedia's. — Monedula 01:01, 5 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I understand your position, but your contention that it is entirely the browser's responsibility is not necessarily reflected in the HTML and CSS specifications. It's good practice, yes, but required, no. CSS in particular states "If there is a matching font face, but it doesn't contain a glyph for the current character, and if there is a next alternative 'font-family' in the font sets, then repeat step 2 with the next alternative 'font-family'. [...] If there is no font within the family selected in 2, then use a UA-dependent default 'font-family' and repeat step 2, using the best match that can be obtained within the default font.". A strict interpretation of this would prevent the browser from finding a match from all available fonts. Given that there are popular user agents that don't make an attempt to find a good font for characters not displayable in the current font, and given the nature of these particular glyphs (there's going to be very little distinction, visually or semantically, between how they render in any typeface), it seems that encouraging the renderer to use commonly deployed fonts that we know support those characters is a good and harmless practice. Ideally, the style info would only be forced upon those user agents that need it, but I doubt Wikipedia is going to implement browser-dependent stylesheets. - mjb 18:23, 12 Jun 2004 (UTC)

I'm having difficulty understanding a certain aspect of ASCII. It is stated that ASCII is "strictly a 7-bit code", and we mention that historically, 8-bit bytes have been used to transmit ASCII, but that the high bit was either unused or was used for parity. Fair enough. But then we go on to show a chart in which ASCII codes are expressed in binary as 8-bit codes. Indeed, today it is quite common to label data stored and transmitted as 8-bit bytes as "ASCII".

I believe that ASCII was defined only in terms of 7-bit codes, but perhaps became, at some point, one of the following:

• an 8-bit code in which the purpose of the high bit is entirely undefined (thus, the burden is on the decoder to know that only the first 7 bits encode the character);
• an 8-bit code in which the high bit is undefined and allowed for use for any purpose other than determining which character is encoded (thereby relieving the burden mentioned above); or
• an 8-bit code in which the high bit is explicitly defined as being used for padding (which seems to reflect actual practice, but I don't know if it is formally defined this way anywhere)

I thought that perhaps RFC 1345 was what defined ASCII as 8-bit first, but a brief Google search turns up references to ANSI X3.4 that call it an 8-bit code, so I'd appreciate some clarification here. - mjb 23:11, 18 Jul 2004 (UTC)

My computer teacher said the ASCII is 7-bit and extended ASCII is 8-bit and the chart in use looks like an incomplete extended ASCII chart. firstly the numbers match as far as I can tell those of Extended ASCII also the 8-bits then again a full ASCII chart of printable characters lists 224 characters so its gotta be incomplete. the person probably looked it up and got extended instead of regular --Shimonnyman 13:42, 5 September 2005 (UTC)

Extended ASCII *DOES NOT* reffer to any one character set. It is a name used to reffer to character sets in general that keep the lower 128 code values for ASCII whilst using the upper 128 for some kind of extention. Plugwash 13:48, 5 November 2005 (UTC)

For what it's worth: the original

Wordstar word-processing software used all 8 bits, but it had 7-bit encoding. It used a high-bit flag at the end of every word, sort of an error-checking routine. If you trim off all the high bits, you get straight 7-bit ASCII. --Cbdorsett

16:04, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

The article previously stated that ASCII was pronounce as ass-key (and it is generally pronounced like that.) But I guess it offended someone :). --GatesPlusPlus 10:57, 28 Jan 2005 (UTC)

A new description using

stress. KJ

02:48, 2005 Mar 28 (UTC)

An anonymous user changed the pronounciation back to ASS-key, with no discussion. This might be an attempt to be helpful, but it follows my removal of the word penis from the article, so I suspect vandalism. Sigh. I've reverted the article back to ASK-EE. Would AS-key be better?

Chris Chittleborough 09:00, 10 September 2005 (UTC)

"You say 'toe may toe'"... How about 'ass ee'(The c is silent). That's how I say it anyways. E-)

It's fixed now. Accent on the first syllable. --Cbdorsett 16:06, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
