Standard ASCII Table

A Complete Reference of 7-bit ASCII

The ASCII table, an abbreviation for American Standard Code for

Information Interchange, utilizes a 7-bit character encoding system to
represent 128 unique characters. These include both control and printable
characters. The table is composed of 32 control characters (ranging from
0-31) used for text formatting management, and 96 printable characters
(ranging from 32-127). The latter includes the English alphabet, digits, and
common punctuation marks.

ASCII control characters

(character code 0-31)
The first 32 characters in the ASCII-table are unprintable control codes and
are used to control peripherals such as printers.
