FAQ

Does this cover extended ASCII (128-255) too?

No — only the standard 0-127 range, which is universally defined the same way everywhere. Codes 128-255 vary by encoding (Windows-1252, ISO-8859-1, etc.) and aren't part of the original ASCII standard, so including them would need picking one specific encoding.

What can I search by?

The character itself (like "A"), its decimal code (like "65"), its hex code (like "41" or "0x41"), its octal code, or a control character name/abbreviation (like "newline" or "BEL").

Why do control characters (0-31) show a description instead of a visible character?

They're non-printing characters (like line feed, tab, or escape) that control text formatting or communication rather than displaying a symbol — so a short name is more useful than trying to render an invisible character.

Is this different from a Unicode table?

Yes — ASCII is a much smaller, older 128-character subset that Unicode (which covers over a hundred thousand characters across every writing system) fully includes as its first 128 codepoints. If you need characters beyond basic English letters, digits, and punctuation, you're looking for a Unicode reference instead.
