ASCII Character Codes for HTML Pages
The chart below shows ASCII character codes that can be used in HTML or XHTML pages. Some characters, such as the "less-than" and "greater-than" signs as well as the ampersand symbol, can cause problems when used in HTML pages, so these characters in particular should only be added to pages in the form of their ASCII numbers or entity names (see our reserved characters in HTML and XTHML page). Please note that ASCII numbers � to  and  should not be used, as they are device control characters. Also, ASCII numbers above  are non-standard characters; some of these characters are listed at the bottom of the table, along with their entity names, which can be used instead of their ASCII numbers (a few standard characters have entity names; they are also listed below).
