Character representation

Now we'll look at how characters are represented.
The range of characters that can be represented in a computer system is known as its character set .
The ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) code uses eight bits to represent a full range of characters including:

*	the letters	A to Z, a to z
*	digits	0 to 9
*	and special symbols such as	$, £, +, <, >, etc.
