What is ASCII…????
-ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
-Computers can only understand numbers, so an ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character such as 'a' or '@' or an action of some sort.
-ASCII was developed a long time ago and now the non-printing characters are rarely used for their original purpose.
-ASCII was actually designed for use with teletypes and so the descriptions are somewhat obscure.
-If someone says they want your CV however in ASCII format, all this means is they want 'plain' text with no formatting such as tabs, bold or underscoring - the raw format that any computer can understand.
- This is usually so they can easily import the file into their own applications without issues.
What is Unicode….???
-Unicode provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform,
no matter what the program, no matter what the language.
-The Unicode Standard has been adopted by such industry leaders as Apple, HP, IBM, JustSystems, Microsoft, Oracle, SAP, Sun, Sybase, Unisys and many others.
-The emergence of the Unicode Standard, and the availability of tools supporting it, are among the most significant recent global software technology trends.
Different between ascii and Unicode:
ASCII
~ follow the basic understanding of a computer.
~ASCII were only designed to support the very restricted typographic style available to typewriter users. The two ASCII characters
0x22 QUOTATION MARK
0x27 APOSTROPHE
are supposed to represent the neutral (vertical) glyphs commonly used on typewriters. They should not be used as directional quotation marks.
Unicode
~ provides a unique number for every character, no matter what the platform.
~ Unicode fonts are supposed to show the two accent characters
0x60 GRAVE ACCENT
0xB4 ACUTE ACCENT
as mutually symmetric shapes.
