A definition or brief description of ASCII.

An acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange; the term refers to a standard that has evolved over many years to improve upon the shortcomings of numerous earlier "teletype" codes; the first widely adopted[1] versions were published in 1963[2] and 1967[3].
