ASCII Character Set

ASCII characters are used to represent English characters on many computers. ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The ASCII character set is a subset of the Unicode character set that represents characters from most of the world’s languages.

Note: The digits at the left of the table are the left digits of the decimal equivalents (0 - 127) of the character codes, and the digits at the top of the table are the right digits of the decimal equivalents (0 - 127) of the character codes. For example, the character code for “H” is 72. 7 is the left digit taken from the digits at the left of the table and 2 is the right digit taken from the digits at the top of the table. Another example is the character code for “U” is 85.
