Table 2.10: ASCII Codes
Example 49: Encode the string Age using ASCII encoding scheme.
Ans:
Letter ASCII Value 7-bit ASCII code
A 65 1000001
g 103 1100101
e 101 1100111
So, ASCII code in binary for the word Age is 100000111001011100111.
Example 50: The following data is encoded in ASCII code. Decode the data and write the equivalent characters.
1001100 1001111 1100111 1101111
Ans:
Binary ASCII value 1001100 1001111 1100111 1101111
Decimal equivalent 76 79 103 111
Encoded character L O g o
The encoded characters are LOgo.
2.6.2 Indian Scripts Code for Information Interchange (ISCII)
ISCII was developed during the mid-1980s to encode characters of Indian languages. The Bureau of Indian Standards
8
adopted it in the year 1991. It is an 8-bit encoding scheme. So it can represent 2 =256 characters. The first 128
characters used in ISCII confirm to ASCII coding scheme.
