Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is the most commonly used binary code on microcomputers. It consists of a set of 128 characters, including letters, numbers, and symbols, each represented by a unique 7-bit binary code. This allows for easy communication and data exchange between different computer systems. Unicode is a more recent and comprehensive encoding standard that includes support for languages beyond the basic Latin alphabet, but it is not as widely used on microcomputers as ASCII. EBCDIC is an older encoding system used mainly on IBM mainframe computers. UNIX is an operating system and not a binary code.
