ASCII 7 bit code ( most significant byte is 0)
- 128 different characters (some redundant control characters from thin client consoles (from old client server infrastructure))
- Numbers match binary values to aid with internal calculations.
- BIT 5 represents the CASE of the character
- (2 BYTES of information. If the character is in the legacy ASCII family then the code is the same as ASCII withe the most significant byte being null and least significant byte showing the same ASCII code)
- Character codes are known as 'Code point'
