They Don’t Know About ASCII
They don’t know that true ASCII is a 7-bit encoding that hasn't been used in decades, what they really mean is ISO-8859
A person stands alone at a party while others gather nearby, rendered as sparse ASCII art. The joke is that the lonely person knows the technically correct distinction between ASCII and ISO-8859, an overly pedantic fact nobody else notices; it is used as a reaction to obscure knowledge or being socially out of the loop.
