The operating system of this model, the "MS-DOS" also used this extended ASCII code.Īlmost all computer systems today use the ASCII code to represent characters and texts.ĪSCII code 03 = ETX ( End of Text, hearts card suit )ĪSCII code 04 = EOT ( End of Transmission, diamonds card suit )ĪSCII code 05 = ENQ ( Enquiry, clubs card suit )ĪSCII code 06 = ACK ( Acknowledgement, spade card suit )ĪSCII code 11 = VT ( Vertical Tab, male symbol, symbol for Mars )ĪSCII code 12 = FF ( Form feed, female symbol, symbol for Venus )ĪSCII code 21 = NAK ( NAK Negative-acknowledge )ĪSCII code 23 = ETB ( End of trans. IBM includes support for this code page in the hardware of its model 5150, known as "IBM-PC", considered the first personal computer. In this way was added the ASCII characters ranging from 128 to 255. Unlike simple space that moves the single character to the next line, it can move the entire word to the. When you need to insert a non-breaking space, simply use the Ctrl+Shift+Space hotkey combination to shift the word to the next line if it comes at the end of the line.
Also 128 characters were added, with new symbols, signs, graphics and latin letters, all punctuation signs and characters needed to write texts in other languages, such as Spanish. In MS Word, you can insert a hard space using Ctrl+Shift+Spacebar keys. In 1981, IBM developed an extension of 8-bit ASCII code, called "code page 437", in this version were replaced some obsolete control characters for graphic characters. Replace the ordinary hyphen with a non-breaking hyphen, namely with the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Minus. The solution: The same principle as with the non-breaking space applies here. The problem: A hyphenated word should not be split up. So with this set of only 128 characters was published in 1967 as standard, containing all you need to write in English language. Instead of simply hitting the space key, use the shortcut Ctrl + Shift + Space between words. This code arises from reorder and expand the set of symbols and characters already used in telegraphy at that time by the Bell company.Īt first only included capital letters and numbers, but in 1967 was added the lowercase letters and some control characters, forming what is known as US-ASCII, ie the characters 0 through 127. The American Standard Code for Information Interchange, or ASCII code, was created in 1963 by the "American Standards Association" Committee or "ASA", the agency changed its name in 1969 by "American National Standards Institute" or "ANSI" as it is known since.
