dude if u want u can read about ascii and unicode as much as u want. But wikipedia has some real good articles about them.
ascci uses 7bits, not 8. the highest bit is NOT used.
and if its 8bit then there are 25
6characters. 255 is just the highest value for an 8bit long block. UInt8= 0..255.
and that u point to the msdn. LOL
ascii, unicode are not from microsoft.
In short u are just a beginner, but u think u already know everything.
