Abstract from DBPedia
    ASCII (/ˈæskiː/ ASS-kee), abbreviated from American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. Because of technical limitations of computer systems at the time it was invented, ASCII has just 128 code points, of which only 95 are , which severely limited its scope. All modern computer systems instead use Unicode, which has millions of code points, but the first 128 of these are the same as the ASCII set. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) prefers the name US-ASCII for this character encoding. ASCII is one of the IEEE milestones.

    ASCII（アスキー、情報交換用米国標準コード、英: American Standard Code for Information Interchange）は、現代英語や西ヨーロッパ言語（参考：西ヨーロッパ、ヨーロッパの言語）で使われるラテン文字を中心とした文字コード。
