First, what is it?

ASCII Code - The extended ASCII table

Citing:

ASCII, stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It's a 7-bit character code where every single bit represents a unique character. On this webpage you will find 8 bits, 256 characters, ASCII table according to Windows-1252 (code page 1252) which is a superset of ISO 8859-1 in terms of printable characters. In the range 128 to 159 (hex 80 to 9F), ISO/IEC 8859-1 has invisible control characters, while Windows-1252 has writable characters. Windows-1252 is probably the most-used 8-bit character encoding in the world.

So, would 000 0001 be "1" on the screen? No. Would it be "A" or "a" on the screen? No. It is however what has the number value 1.

Start of Heading = 00000001 = 1.

It's a command. All values from 0 to 31 are commands.

Now, there is one of the binary digits of the septet or octet that differentiates between "UPPER CASE" and "lower case". Since the English alphabet has 26 letters, which is more than sixteen and less than thirty-two, it is precisely 32. This means it's after the next one to the left, after 64, that the alphabet upper case starts. So, upper case A is 64 + 1, upper case B is 64 + 2, and so on until upper case Z is 64 + 26 - values being then 65 to 90 for upper case. For lower case, 64 + 32 + 1, 64 + 32 + 2, 64 + 32 + 26, giving lower case a, lower case b, lower case z.

Numerals start at 48 for 0 and go to 57 for 9.

Most important for those wondering about gematria, especially Biblical one, is, ASCII is in everyday use. It is not ad hoc, just for gematric purposes. It is known mainly to computer specialists, but it is not a secret that outsiders cannot pierce. Learning the ASCII values of upper case alphabet by heart and that space and lower casing imply adding 32, does not require you to learn a new language like Greek or Hebrew. People are alive whose names were given before ASCII was invented./HGL
