Description | A character from a character set that supports 256 characters; an extended-ASCII character, as opposed to a Unicode character. The numeric equivalent of single-byte characters is between zero and 255, for 256 total characters. 256 is 2^8, so it takes 8 bits (one byte) to store an extended-ASCII character. |
