are cpu's directly hardwired to no ascii and If i wrote my own Operating system does the cpu have a built in function that allows me to tell it an ascii number and it will draw it using a default font to the screen without windows help or anything?.

Jump to PostNo - CPUs know nothing about ASCII.
Nor do CPU's have "built-in" functions for anything, unless you count "multiply" as a built-in function.
Nor are they capable of "drawing" anything.
Neither do operating systems.
