ACE

Acronym for ASCII Compatible Encoding.

It describes a system for encoding Unicode so that each character can be transmitted using only a limited set of ASCII characters (i.e. a-z, 0-9 and '-'). This is used because applications that use the DNS protocol may not support other characters.

ASCII

Acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange.

ASCII is a common numerical code for computers and other devices that use text. As computers can only understand numbers, an ASCII code will use a number (e.g. 99, 63) to represent a character (e.g. ‘c’, ‘?’) using a number. When mentioned in relation to domain names or strings, ASCII refers to the fact that before internationalisation only the letters (a-z), digits (0-9), and the hyphen (-), were allowed in domain names.
