Its all in binary really. As each binary number refers to the pixel it will hold to form the shape after.
Binary.
Stored? It would not be stored as ASCII -- ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is in common use in the US (EBCDIC - Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code is another type of ASCII and is used in many European countries.)My name is, for example, Bill TheCat - TheCat is my surname and is represented (not stored) in ASCII as "TheCat". Computers store data as 0s and 1s (in BINARY, which is not the same as EBCDIC) format.
ASCII
ASCII-represents letters, numbers and symbols in a 7 bit code of 1's and 0's called binary. It is a standard developed in the 1960's for information interchange between data processing equipment (teletype and computers)
You will need to look up the ASCII numbers for each letter, then convert those number to binary. The word "Denny" in binary is: 0100010001100001011011100110111001111001
The combination of numbers 01000101 is called a binary representation. Specifically, it is the 8-bit binary code for the letter 'E' in the ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) encoding system. Each binary sequence corresponds to a specific character, enabling computers to store and process text.
In binary, "db" would be represented as "01100100" when converted from ASCII to binary. Each character is assigned a unique binary code according to the ASCII standard.
Most computers use ASCII (or some similar) encoding, in which 'A' is represented as 65, or 01000001 binary. Older IBM mainframes use an entirely different encoding.
Chracters are represented using binary digit combinations. For example the ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange is one such encoding.
Packed decimal is a method used in computing to store more in less space. A bit of theory here. Characters are stored in binary in their ASCII representation, such that the number 1 = ascii 49 (decimal). Packed decimal means you can store two numbers (numbers only) in the same space, so that ascii 49 = numbers 4 and 9. There is overhead so it is always a trade off between space and computing. And storage is cheap these days

The binary value for K is 1001011.
