ASCII Table Reference

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. It was developed in the 1960s and represents text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices.

ASCII encodes 128 specified characters into 7-bit integers. The first 32 codes (0-31) are control characters originally designed to control hardware devices. Code 32 is space, and codes 33-126 are printable characters. Code 127 is DEL (Delete).
