Introduction to ASCIIART Sending station: Sun and Moon Guanghua December 14, 2003 00:33:57 Sunday, in-site mail ASCII is the abbreviation of American Standard Code for Information Interchange, That is, the American Information Interchange Standard Code was specially developed by the American National Bureau of Standards. The original ASCII used 7 binary bits for encoding, a total of 128 code bits 0 127 This encoding soon became a worldwide standard Among these 128 code points, No. 0, 32 and No. 127, a total of 34, are control characters or special communication characters. Among them, No. 32 is a space Space No. 33 126, a total of 94 visible characters, including Arabic numerals, English letters, English punctuation, etc. All 94 characters can be entered directly via the standard keyboard ASCIIART uses the combination of these characters defined by ASCII encoding to reflect things in real life or an art of expressing one's thoughts . It’s so verbose. Wouldn’t it be nice if you asked me out earlier? I wrote a lot and everyone below fell asleep. oo yes yes yes let's make a long story short Now we don't have to limit ourselves to using only ASCII-encoded characters. For example, you can use all characters in GB code or even GBK code to create. Taiwan uses BIG5 code. With more characters, more things and artistic conception can be expressed through character paintings. Of course, the versatility is worse than standard ASCII. Although the character set has been expanded, it is still called ASCIIART. Source: Sun and Moon Guanghua bbs.fudan.edu.cn [FROM: 10.85.24.241]
