ascii

ascii - American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It is a 7-bit character code where every single bit represents a unique character. Note that the first 32 characters in the ascii-table are unprintable control codes and are used to control peripherals such as printers, as such my table starts from the 33rd character. I use the ascii table very often and so I’m posting the table here for my reference and yours too. Enjoy!

Character Entity Reference

A character entity reference is an sgml construct that references a character of the document character set. The Character Entity Reference html 4 has been formatted with accessibility and usability considerations. The Entity Reference List is presented using the definition list format. This allows usable small screen rendering on numerous Internet devices including Internet capable cell phones and pdas.

html 4.01 supports the iso 8859-1 (Latin-1) character set. The lower part of iso-8859-1 (codes from 0-127) is the original 7-bit ascii standard. Most of these characters can be used without a character reference. The higher part of iso-8859-1 (codes from 160-255) can all be used using character entity names.

Standards compliant broswers should display most, if not all of the listed character entities. Opera, Mozilla and Netscape 7 offer excellent support of the expanded character list. Internet Explorer 6 is aided here by the use of the special “Arial Unicode MS” font heading the font-family (“arial unicode MS”, arial, geneva, sans-serif) used to style the definition type, <dt> elements.
