Six-bit Binary Codes
Six bits per character allows 64 distinct characters to be represented.
Examples of six-bit binary codes are:
- International Telegraph Alphabet No 3 (ITA3) - derived from the Moore ARQ code, and also known as the RCA code.
- Six-bit BCD (Binary Coded Decimal), used by early mainframe computers.
- Six-bit ASCII subset of the primitive seven-bit ASCII
- Braille - Braille characters are represented using six dot positions, arranged in a rectangle. Each position may contain a raised dot or not, so Braille can be considered to be a six-bit binary code.
Each have 1 or more than two numbers 1100101110110
