    The document provides success criteria and questions for students to test their understanding of ASCII and Unicode character coding schemes. The success criteria asks students to explain the two most common character coding schemes, describe the advantages and disadvantages of each, and explain the workings of both character sets and alternative versions. The questions then ask students to define what a character code is, encode a word in ASCII binary, convert a lowercase letter to uppercase using a bitwise AND operation and ASCII mask, and describe the differences and similarities between ASCII and Unicode.

    Coding Systems – ASCII and Unicode


    LO: Exploring how coding systems are used
    Confidence checker
    Success Criteria Before /5
    Explain the what the two most common character coding schemes After /5
    used in computing.
    Describe the advantages and disadvantages of both of the character coding schemes.
    Explain the workings for both character sets and alternative versions of each

    1. Explain what is mean by a character code.

    2. The ASCII binary code for character 'a' is 11000012. How would the word
    "be" would be encoded in the binary form of ASCII.

    3. A program has been developed to convert a string so that all of its characters
    are in upper case. The computer does this by taking each character’s ASCII
    binary code and applying a bitwise AND operation to it, using the mask
    10111112.
    Convert the lower case character 'c', ASCII code 11000112, into the upper
    case character 'C' using the method described above.

    4. Describe the differences between ASCII and Unicode.

    5. Describe the similarities between ASCII and Unicode.
