Frequently Asked Questions

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that assigns a unique number (0-127) to each character. For example, 'A' is 65, 'a' is 97, and '0' is 48.
ASCII only supports 128 characters (English letters, numbers, and basic symbols). Unicode supports over 140,000 characters from all languages, including emojis. ASCII is a subset of Unicode.
HTML entities are useful for displaying special characters that have meaning in HTML (like < and >) or characters not available on your keyboard. They ensure proper rendering across all browsers.
URL encoding (percent-encoding) converts special characters into a format safe for URLs. Spaces become %20, and special characters are replaced with their hexadecimal values preceded by %.
