HTML ASCII Reference
The ASCII character-set is used to send information between
computers on the Internet.
The ASCII Character Set
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
hardware
devices like teleprinters and tapedrives.
ASCII is a 7-bit character set containing 128 characters.
It contains the numbers from 0-9, the uppercase and lowercase English letters
from A to Z, and some special characters.
The character-sets used in modern computers, HTML, and Internet are all based
on ASCII.
The following table lists the 128 ASCII characters and their equivalent HTML
entity codes.
