- shmerl 13y agoWell, not exactly. For example box drawing characters are included in some extended ASCII tables: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_characters#DOS https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Box-drawing_characters#DOS I don't think it won't fit the name at all as an extra feature (though it only makes sense to use Unicode for that purpose).
- rspeer 13y ago"Extended ASCII" is not ASCII. It's a dated phrase referring to various one-byte-per-character encodings that include ASCII as a subset. Now that UTF-8 exists and is widely used, those encodings are useless until you decode them into Unicode anyway.
- shmerl 13y agoSo what? It's still called extended ASCII. The point is, using Unicode box drawing characters on that site would be appropriate.
