Extended ASCII means an eight-bit character encoding that includes (most of) the seven-bit ASCII characters, plus additional characters. Using the term "extended ASCII" is sometimes criticized, because it can be mistakenly interpreted to mean that the ASCII standard has been updated to include more characters, or that the term unambiguously identifies a single encoding, neither of which is the case.
