ascii Command Examples in Linux

by admin

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a character encoding standard that represents characters as integers. ASCII codes are used to represent text in computers, communication equipment, and other devices that work with text.

Here is an example of using the ascii command to display the ASCII value for the character “A”:

# ascii A
