ASCII table (32 to 126)

Welcome to ASCII and Unicode Tables!

I created this blog because I was getting tired of wasting time finding ASCII and Unicode tables for different applications. I hope to make this a centralized resource for this sort of information, and I hope you will find it useful as well.

This first post is a standard ASCII table, showing the visible characters (decimal 32 through 126).

Please use the Comments option to leave feedback, and feel free to request more specific tables. I plan to post variations on ASCII for special characters (decimal 128 through 255) as well as Unicode.

Notes:

  • Values not listed are control characters that may be system-dependent. Common decimal values include 9 (tab), 10 (linefeed), 13 (carriage return), 27 (escape), and 127 (delete).
  • Symbols and special characters (such as foreign accents) are represented in the range 128 to 255. Since these values vary from one platform to another, they should be used only on applications. For web pages, always use Unicode.
  • The original ASCII specification did not define any values above decimal 127 because the 8th bit was used as a parity bit. This provided a checksum for data transmitted across noisy communication channels.
