A complete reference table of all 128 ASCII characters with their decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary values.

ASCII Table

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that maps integers (0–127) to text characters. It includes uppercase and lowercase Latin letters, digits, punctuation marks, and control characters. The table below shows every ASCII character with its decimal, hexadecimal, octal, and binary representation.

About ASCII

ASCII was first published in 1963 and has become the foundation of modern character encoding. It defines 128 characters (0–127), of which 95 are printable (letters, digits, punctuation) and 33 are control characters (like newline, tab, and carriage return).

While ASCII only covers English letters and basic symbols, it forms the first 128 code points of Unicode (UTF-8 is backward-compatible with ASCII). Extended ASCII (128–255) adds additional characters but is not standardized — different code pages map these values differently.
