ASCII Table

ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for information interchange developed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI). ASCII is the most common format to represent the text files.

In an ASCII file alphabetic, numeric or special characters is represent with 7-bit binary numbers. Since ASCII uses 7-bit, it only supports 2^7 = 128 character codes (0 to 127). Therefore, the standard ASCII character code set is limited to 128 characters.

There is an Extended ASCII set that supports 8-bit binary representation to hold some of the special characters and this extended set will represent character codes form 128 - 255.
