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

Famous quotes containing the word codes:
“... until both employers’ and workers’ groups assume responsibility for chastising their own recalcitrant children, they can vainly bay the moon about “ignorant” and “unfair” public criticism. Moreover, their failure to impose voluntarily upon their own groups codes of decency and honor will result in more and more necessity for government control.”
—Mary Barnett Gilson (1877–?)
