ASCII stands for the "American Standard Code for Information Interchange".
It was designed in the early 60's, as a standard character set for computers and electronic devices.
ASCII is a 7-bit character set containing 128 characters.
It contains the numbers from 0-9, the upper and lower case English letters from A to Z, and some special characters.
The character sets used in modern computers, in HTML, and on the Internet, are all based on ASCII.
The following tables list the 128 ASCII characters and their equivalent number.
The ASCII control characters (range 00-31, plus 127) were designed to control
hardware devices.
Control characters (except horizontal tab, line feed, and carriage return)
have nothing to do inside an HTML document.
There are several different variations of the 8-bit ASCII table. The table below is according to ISO 8859-1, also called ISO Latin-1. Codes 128-159 contain the Microsoft? Windows Latin-1 extended characters. Codes 128-159 are control characters. The control characters were originally designed to control hardware devices.
The control characters are not supposed to be displayed in HTML.
However, because they are defined as characters, in the ANSI character set used by Windows, they might be displayed if you are using Windows.
