In telecommunications, an acknowledge character (ACK) is a transmission control character transmitted by the receiving station as an acknowledgement, i.e. an affirmative response to the sending station, perhaps in response to the sending station's transmission of an ENQ.
In the ASCII code, the ACK character is 0x06 (hexadecimal), or ^F.
"ACK" is also used as a slang abbreviation in internet forums and chats (mainly technology) for "Understood".[1]
