Hi ALL
How do i type ASCII characters on Linux
One does not type ASCII characters with Linux.
One types characters with a keyboard.
When you type on a PC type computer, the keyboard sends
keystroke codes for each key, codes something like this:
keypress: A
keyrelease: A
If you hold down the key, the keyboard sends a stream
like this:
keypress: A
keypress: A
keypress: A
keyrelease: A
Inside the computer the BIOS (usually) translates these into
a bunch of ASCII characters. ASCII today is almost the universal
code for characters.
Every character you see in this e-mail is ASCII. Every character
in the e-mail you sent is ASCII.

I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
