ASCII script
ASCII script in character encoding
In computing, "ASCII script" typically means source code or configuration files written entirely within the 95 printable ASCII characters. Most programming languages (C, Python, JavaScript, Go, Rust) restrict their syntax keywords and operators to this range, making source files portable across any system without encoding issues.
Some languages allow Unicode in identifiers (Python 3, Java, Rust), but mixing scripts in variable names creates readability and security risks - Cyrillic "a" (U+0430) looks identical to Latin "a" (U+0061) but is a different code point. This homoglyph attack vector is why many style guides recommend ASCII-only identifiers. Convert between representations with our text-to-ASCII and Unicode-to-ASCII tools.
