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:

    Thou hast a voice, great Mountain, to repeal
    Large codes of fraud and woe; not understood
    By all, but which the wise, and great, and good
    Interpret, or make felt, or deeply feel.
    Percy Bysshe Shelley (1792–1822)
