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:
“We must trust infinitely to the beneficent necessity which shines through all laws. Human nature expresses itself in them as characteristically as in statues, or songs, or railroads, and an abstract of the codes of nations would be an abstract of the common conscience.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
