ASCII Table

The standard ASCII character set consists of 128 decimal numbers ranging from zero through 127 assigned to letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and the most common special characters. The Extended ASCII Character Set also consists of 128 decimal numbers and ranges from 128 through 255 representing additional special, mathematical, graphic, and foreign characters.

The charts in this section show the default character set for a console application.

To use some of the extended (127-255) or non-printable (0-32) ASCII characters codes inside MMB use CHR(dec) function.

** Values 0-32 and 127 are non-printable characters. They have no graphical representation, but depending on the application, may affect the visual display of text.

The characters that appear in Windows above 127 depend on the selected typeface (i.e. the character code 128=€ or 169=© in Arial font.
