Whois & Analysis for ascii.cl

ASCII, abbreviated from American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) prefers the name US-ASCII).

ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices.

Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, although they support many additional characters.

HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) has been in use since 1991, but HTML 4.0 (December 1997) was the first standardized version where international characters were given reasonably complete treatment.

When an HTML document includes special characters outside the range of seven-bit ASCII two goals are worth considering: the information's integrity, and universal browser display.

In computer and machine-based telecommunications terminology, a character is a unit of information that roughly corresponds to a grapheme, grapheme-like unit, or symbol, such as in an alphabet or syllabary in the written form of a natural language.

A symbol is a mark, sign, or word that indicates, signifies, or is understood as representing an idea, object, or relationship.

Symbols allow people to go beyond what is known or seen by creating linkages between otherwise very different concepts and experiences.

All communication (and data processing) is achieved through the use of symbols.

Symbols take the form of words, sounds, gestures, ideas or visual images and are used to convey other ideas and beliefs.

For example, a red octagon may be a symbol for "STOP".

On a map, a blue line might represent a river.

Numerals are symbols for numbers.

Alphabetic letters may be symbols for sounds.

Personal names are symbols representing individuals.

A red rose may symbolize love and compassion.

In computer science, a reference is a value that enables a program to indirectly access a particular data, such as a variable or a record, in the computer's memory or in some other storage device.

The reference is said to refer to the datum, and accessing the datum is called dereferencing the reference.
