Line 32:
Another, less common, variant is obtained by just stripping the high bit of an ASCII code in 32 - 95 range (codes 32 - 63 remain at their positions, higher values have 64 subtracted from them). Such variant was sometimes used on DEC's [[PDP-8]] (1965).
==={{anchor|ECMA-1}}ECMA and ISO six-bit code===
A six-bit code similar to DEC's, but replacing a few punctuation characters with the most useful control characters—including [[Shift Out and Shift In characters|SO/SI]], allowing code extension—was specified as [[Ecma International|ECMA]]-[https://ecma-international.org/publications-and-standards/standards/ecma-1/ 1] in 1963 (see [[#ASCII-variants|below]]). Four years later, ISO Recommendation R 646-1967 (which later evolved into [[ISO/IEC_646 | ISO Standard 646]]) included an almost identical six-bit code, differing only in some of the alternative options permitted for a few characters. ECMA-1 was eventually withdrawn, and ISO 646-1973 explicitly removed the six-bit code leaving only 7-bit ASCII.
