question 10 of 10
one weakness of ascii is that it has no way of representing which type of
characters?

a. lowercase letters

b. uppercase letters

c. punctuation marks

d. chinese characters

Explanation:

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) uses 7 - bit or 8 - bit encoding. It is designed mainly for representing English - language characters (including lowercase letters, uppercase letters, and punctuation marks). However, Chinese characters are part of a much larger character set with thousands of unique characters, and ASCII does not have the capacity to represent them. Lowercase letters (A is wrong), uppercase letters (B is wrong), and punctuation marks (C is wrong) can be represented by ASCII.

Answer:

D. Chinese characters
