I take some computer course and the teacher say ASCII table located very far down memory lane. While it looks to me it has to be somewhere pretty close to the CPU since it is transforms chars to hexadecimal machine readable sequences and that you can read letters even when there are no OS. I found that it is indeed in the BIOS (Basic Input Output System) does anyone can elaborate on physical location of ASCII tables? is it possible that it would be in a CPU? And how close is it indeed to CPU in Computer Architecture.
If I made any mistake please correct me we’re here for learning.
The ASCII table is not managed by the BIOS but it’s managed by the OS. So it does not have any physical location.
Nowadays they don’t necessarily use ASCII, but use UNICODE.
