There are 27 = 128 printable characters which can be represented by different 7-BIT ASCII codes. Another set of characters are not for HTML representation but they are devised to control hardware.
Following tables list down all the 7-BIT ASCII codes and their equivalent HTML Entity Codes.
If you want to see equivalent HEX, OCT and extended set of ASCII codes then check next chapter.

FAQs

The default character encoding in HTML-5 is UTF-8.
Is UTF-8 and ASCII same? ›For characters represented by the 7-bit ASCII character codes, the UTF-8 representation is exactly equivalent to ASCII, allowing transparent round trip migration. Other Unicode characters are represented in UTF-8 by sequences of up to 6 bytes, though most Western European characters require only 2 bytes3.
What is a HTML format? ›HTML is an acronym for Hypertext Markup Language. HTML files are text-only documents that contain highly interactive content and are designed specifically for digital viewing. This means they're optimal as an on-screen viewing file rather than a printed format.
What is %3F in a URL? ›URLs frequently employ potentially conflicting characters such as question marks, ampersands, and pound signs. Fortunately, it is possible to encode such characters via their escaped hexadecimal ASCII representations. For example, we would write ? as %3F .
What is %E2 in URL? ›%E2%80%8B is the code for a "ZERO-WIDTH SPACE" character.
What is %20 in a URL? ›It's used to place characters in URLs that aren't typically allowed. The encoding is a percent sign followed by an ASCII value (in hexadecimal). So %20 is a space, %30 is the number 0, %3b is semicolon and so on.

How do I type Unicode? ›Inserting Unicode characters
To insert a Unicode character, type the character code, press ALT, and then press X. For example, to type a dollar symbol ($), type 0024, press ALT, and then press X. For more Unicode character codes, see Unicode character code charts by script.
UTF-16 binary encoding
Recall that UTF-8 encodes each ASCII character in just one byte. UTF-16 must encode these same characters in either two or four bytes. This means that an English text file encoded with UTF-16 would be at least double the size of the same file encoded with UTF-8.
UTF-8 VS ASCII – What's the Difference? UTF-8 extends the ASCII character set to use 8-bit code points, which allows for up to 256 different characters. This means that UTF-8 can represent all of the printable ASCII characters, as well as the non-printable characters.

Most computers extend the ASCII character set to use the full range of 256 characters available in a byte. The upper 128 characters handle special things like accented characters from common foreign languages.
Why ASCII is a 7-bit code? ›
The committee eventually decided on a 7-bit code for ASCII. 7 bits allow for 128 characters. While only American English characters and symbols were chosen for this encoding set, 7 bits meant minimized costs associated with transmitting this data (as opposed to say, 8 bits).

For example, the ASCII code for uppercase M is 77. Most computers use ASCII codes to represent text, which makes it possible to transfer data from one computer to another.
What is ASCII code and its types? ›The ASCII system translates alphanumeric characters and symbols into a computer-readable code. The original ASCII was English-only. There are now two types of ASCII codes; the standard code that uses a seven-bit encoding system, and an extended code that uses an eight-bit system. It is pronounced ASK-y.
What is ASCII file format? ›ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) ASCII is the most common format for text files in computers and on the Internet.

Why Ascii code is used? ›What is ASCII used for? ASCII is used to translate computer text to human text. All computers speak in binary, a series of 0 and 1. However, just like English and Spanish can use the same alphabet but have completely different words for similar objects, computers also had their own version of languages.
How can I learn Ascii code? ›To identify a character's ASCII value, it is common to look it up on an ASCII table. The ASCII table pairs each character to its assigned value between 0 and 127.
How do ASCII codes work? ›It is a code that uses numbers to represent characters. Each letter is assigned a number between 0 and 127. A upper and lower case character are assigned different numbers. For example the character A is assigned the decimal number 65, while a is assigned decimal 97 as shown below int the ASCII table.
Are HTML files ASCII or binary? ›Any of the 256-bit patterns can be used in any byte of a binary file. ASCII files are used for simple word editing, but they are also the basis for all web pages. HTML is written in ASCII because each character has a specific and unique meaning that can be easily read by web browsers.
