Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The original ASCII table represents all characters using just 7 bits: which means that there are 27, or 128, possible characters that can be represented in ASCII. Several extensions to ASCII exist which add an 8th bit, allowing for a total of 256 possible characters to be represented.
Detailed explanation-2: -The 128 or 256 character limits of ASCII and Extended ASCII limits the number of character sets that can be held. Representing the character sets for several different language structures is not possible in ASCII, there are just not enough available characters.
