Ascii Character Maps

ASCII, the American Standard Code for Information Interchange is a standard seven-bit code finalised in 1968. For all versions of ASCII code the first 128 slots (0 to 127) are identical. The extended ASCII, codes 128 to 255, vary.

The Ascii Character Maps show both the standard Windows extensions and the PC keyboard extensions. The Keyboard map will be useful to all PC users operating a Windows system, and the Windows map to programmers. Only Microsoft will know why they have one set of extensions for application developers and another for Windows users.

A little known feature of Windows is that all the ASCII symbols may be generated by holding down the Alt key and entering the ASCII number on the number pad. It must be on the number pad, not on the number line above the typewriter keyboard. Thus, for example, Alt+156 generates the £ symbol. To find the number associated with the symbol use the Keyboard map. We do not offer technical support for freeware.
