It is ASCII (edit: ok, as per the replies, more like poorly-defined Extended ASCII since it uses 8 bits instead of 7). For every character that has an ASCII value, the Unicode code point and the ASCII value of that character are the same. Unicode was designed with backward compatibility in mind.

- scintill76 12y agoWhat you say about Unicode and ASCII sounds correct. But many of those characters are not actually ASCII. See this table[0]; none of "ÿª§ò" are on it [0] https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII
- DanBC 12y agoI was going to say that you've pointed to the 7 bit ASCII chart and you want the 8 bit Extended ASCII chart. But the wikipage chart for extended ascii doesn't have those characters either so maybe it's extended ASCII and codepages? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ASCII https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extended_ASCII Weirdly, because neither chart has the smiley face characters I don't find them trustworthy charts. I am obviously wrong!
- Sharlin 12y agoAs the Wikipedia article states, there is no single thing called "the" extended ASCII. It is a nonstandard term that can refer to any of the multitude of 8-bit encodings that contain ASCII as a subset.
- TazeTSchnitzel 12y agoHeck, even UTF-8 could be considered "extended ASCII".
