Standard ASCII Characters (ISO-8859-1 Characters)
Short for American Standard Code for Information Interexchange, ASCII is an industry standard, which assigns letters, numbers and other characters within the 256 slots available in the 8-bit code.
The ASCII table is divided in 3 sections:
  • Non printable, system codes between 0 and 31.
  • Lower ASCII, between 32 and 127. This part of the table (as shown below) originates from older, American systems, which worked on 7-bit character tables. Foreign letters, like and were not available then.
  • Higher ASCII, between 128 and 255. This part is programmable, in that you can exchange characters based on language you want to write in. Foreign letters are placed in this part and an example is shown below.
While coding HTML, How to convert HEX and DEC code to Literal.
  • HEX to Literal, replace all left most zeros by &#x
  • DEC to Literal, replace all left most zeros by &#
ISO-8859-1 explicitly does not define displayable characters for positions 0-31 and 127-159, and the HTML standard does not allow those to be used for displayable characters. The only characters in this range that are used are 9, 10 and 13, which are tab, newline and carriage return respectively. If you attempt to display these invalid characters on your own system, you may find some characters displayed there, but please do not assume that other users will see the same thing (or even anything at all) on their systems.
