ASCII character table

The ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character table It is a standardized table that assigns a unique numeric code to each printable and non-printable character used in computers and communications devices.

ASCII characters range from 0 to 127 and include uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, punctuation marks, and special characters such as spaces, tabs, and control placeholders. Each character is represented by a unique decimal number, which can be used to store and represent it in digital form.

This table was developed in the 60s as a standard to ensure compatibility and interoperability between various computing and communication devices. Although it was later extended to include characters not present in the first 128 (extended ASCII), the table of the first 128 characters remains the fundamental part of the ASCII standard.
