What is ASCII? ASCII (pronounced AS'kee) stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. It's a very standard system that computers use to index every character that your computer can display. ASCII indices are useful because they allow you to display characters not found on your keyboard (like ¢£¤¥§°). Since every browser recognizes the ASCII indexing, you can actually write your entire page using just ASCII codes for every character on your page.
How this site works: If you want the character € in your page, type € into your source code. If you want the character ‡ in your page, type ‡ in your source code. Get the pattern?
Hint: Some characters appear in the tables more than once. Find the earliest time that the character appears in the index. That's easier than it sounds. You'll notice that the characters are actually arranged in an organized fashion.
NOTE: If a warning asks you to if you want to stop the page from loading, say no. For a 500 MHz processor, the page should finish loading in less than 8 seconds. If you already told it not to load, just hit the refresh button.
NOTE: The tables below are written in Times New Roman font.
