[ "Modern alchemy", "Psychology" ]

[ "Overview" ]
ASCII was developed from [[telegraph code]]. Its first commercial use was as a seven-[[bit]] [[teleprinter]] code promoted by Bell data services. Work on the ASCII standard began on October 6, 1960, with the first meeting of the [[American Standards Association]]'s (ASA) (now the [[American National Standards Institute...

[ "History" ]
The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (ASCII) was developed under the auspices of a committee of the [[American Standards Association]] (ASA), called the X3 committee, by its X3.2 (later X3L2) subcommittee, and later by that subcommittee's X3.2.4 working group (now [[INCITS]]). The ASA became the [[Uni...

[ "Design considerations", "Bit width" ]
The X3.2 subcommittee designed ASCII based on the earlier teleprinter encoding systems. Like other [[character encoding]], ASCII specifies a correspondence between digital bit patterns and [[character (computing)|character]] symbols (i.e. [[grapheme]] and [[control character]]). This allows [[Digital data|digital]] dev...

[ "Design considerations", "Internal organization" ]
The code itself was patterned so that most control codes were together and all graphic codes were together, for ease of identification. The first two so-called ''ASCII sticks'' (32 positions) were reserved for control characters. The [[Space (punctuation)|"space" character]] had to come before graphics to make [[sortin...

Some common characters were not included, notably codice_14, while codice_15 were included as diacritics for international use, and codice_16 for mathematical use, together with the simple line characters codice_17 (in addition to common codice_18). The ''@'' symbol was not used in continental Europe and the committee ...

[ "Design considerations", "Character order" ]
ASCII-code order is also called ''ASCIIbetical'' order. [[Collation]] of data is sometimes done in this order rather than "standard" alphabetical order ([[collating sequence]]). The main deviations in ASCII order are: (-) All uppercase come before lowercase letters; for example, "Z" precedes "a" (-) Digits and many pun...

[ "Character groups", "Control characters" ]
ASCII reserves the first 32 codes (numbers 0–31 decimal) for [[control character]]: codes originally intended not to represent printable information, but rather to control devices (such as [[computer printer|printers]]) that make use of ASCII, or to provide [[Metadata|meta-information]] about data streams such as those...

[ "Character groups", "Control characters", "Delete & Backspace" ]
The Teletype could not move the head backwards, so it did not put a key on the keyboard to send a BS (backspace). Instead there was a key marked that sent code 127 (DEL). The purpose of this key was to erase mistakes in a hand-typed paper tape: the operator had to push a button on the tape punch to back it up, then typ...

[ "Character groups", "Control characters", "Escape" ]
Many more of the control codes have been given meanings quite different from their original ones. The "escape" character (ESC, code 27), for example, was intended originally to allow sending other control characters as literals instead of invoking their meaning. This is the same meaning of "escape" encountered in URL e...

The inherent ambiguity of many control characters, combined with their historical usage, created problems when transferring "plain text" files between systems.

The PDP-6 monitor, and its PDP-10 successor TOPS-10, used Control-Z (SUB) as an end-of-file indication for input from a terminal.

ASCII was first used commercially during 1963 as a seven-bit teleprinter code for [[American Telephone & Telegraph]]'s TWX (TeletypeWriter eXchange) network.

From early in its development, ASCII was intended to be just one of several national variants of an international character code standard.

[ "Origins" ]
The cult centers of Apollo in Greece, [[Delphi]] and [[Delos]], date from the 8th century BCE. The Delos sanctuary was primarily dedicated to [[Artemis]], Apollo's twin sister. At Delphi, Apollo was venerated as the slayer of the monstrous serpent [[Python (mythology)|Python]]. For the Greeks, Apollo was the most Greek...

[ "Origins", "Healer and god-protector from evil" ]
In classical times, his major function in popular religion was to keep away evil, and he was therefore called "apotropaios" (, "averting evil") and "alexikakos" ( "keeping off ill"; from [[verb|v.]] + [[noun|n.]] ). Apollo also had many epithets relating to his function as a healer. Some commonly-used examples are "pai...

[ "Origins", "Dorian origin" ]
The ''[[Homeric Hymns|Homeric Hymn to Apollo]]'' depicts Apollo as an intruder from the north. The connection with the northern-dwelling [[Dorians]] and their initiation festival ''[[apellai]]'' is reinforced by the month ''Apellaios'' in northwest Greek calendars. The family-festival was dedicated to Apollo ([[Dorians...

[ "Origins", "Minoan origin" ]
George Huxley regarded the identification of Apollo with the Minoan deity Paiawon, worshipped in Crete, to have originated at Delphi. In the ''Homeric Hymn'', Apollo appeared as a dolphin and carried Cretan priests to Delphi, where they evidently transferred their religious practices. ''Apollo Delphinios'' or ''Delphid...

[ "Origins", "Anatolian origin" ]
A non-Greek origin of Apollo has long been assumed in scholarship. The name of Apollo's mother [[Leto]] has [[Lydia]] origin, and she was worshipped on the coasts of [[Asia Minor]]. The inspiration oracular cult was probably introduced into Greece from [[Anatolia]], which is the origin of [[Sibyl]], and where some of t...

The [[Vedic]] [[Rudra]] has some similar functions with Apollo. The terrible god is called "the archer" and the bow is also an attribute of [[Shiva]]. Rudra could bring diseases with his arrows, but he was able to free people of them and his alternative Shiva is a healer physician god. However the [[Indo-European langu...

[ "Oracular cult" ]
Unusually among the Olympic deities, Apollo had two cult sites that had widespread influence: [[Delos]] and [[Delphi]]. In cult practice, [[Delos|Delian Apollo]] and [[Pythian Apollo]] (the Apollo of Delphi) were so distinct that they might both have shrines in the same locality. [[Lycia]] was sacred to the god, for th...

His oracular shrine in [[Abae]] in [[Phocis]], where he bore the [[toponym]] epithet ''[[Abaeus]]'' (, ''Apollon Abaios''), was important enough to be consulted by [[Croesus]].

Many temples were dedicated to Apollo in Greece and the Greek colonies. They show the spread of the cult of Apollo and the evolution of the Greek architecture, which was mostly based on the rightness of form and on mathematical relations. Some of the earliest temples, especially in [[Crete]], do not belong to any Greek...
