Text characters are often represented in legacy computer systems using the 7-bit ASCII standard.
Describe how characters are encoded using 7-bit ASCII, and explain why this standard is limited compared to modern encoding systems.
Practise Edexcel GCSE Computer Science Data representation with exam-style questions for GCSE Computer Science. 50 questions covering Encoding characters with 7-bit ASCII, Representing bitmap images in binary, Representing analogue sound in binary, and Limitations of binary representation, matched to the Edexcel GCSE Computer Science (1CP2) specification and written in Paper 1 and Paper 2 style. Every question includes a full worked solution and mark scheme, so you can see where marks are awarded rather than just whether you got the answer right.
