A six-bit character code is a character encoding designed for use on computers with word lengths a multiple of 6. Six bits can only encode 64 distinct...

letters, and some special and control characters as six-bit character codes. Unlike later encodings such as ASCII, BCD codes were not standardized. Different...

each character in the text, while in variable-width binary codes, the number of bits may vary from character to character. Several different five-bit codes...

schemes that were tied to the punch card code. IBM used several Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) six-bit character encoding schemes, starting as early as 1953...

binary code assigns a pattern of binary digits, also known as bits, to each character, instruction, etc. For example, a binary string of eight bits (which...

Display code is the six-bit character code used by many computer systems manufactured by Control Data Corporation, notably the CDC 6000 series in 1964...

of bits per character -- currently almost always 8-bit characters, but historically some transmitters have used a five-bit character code, six-bit character...

16-bit computer. It was an unusual word size for the era; most systems used six-bit character code and used a word length of some multiple of 6-bits. This...
