This is not a converter. This is a simple reference tool for finding the conversions of ASCII characters, including binary. The American Standard Code for Information Interchange (acronym: ASCII; pronounced /ski/, ASS-kee)[1] is a character-encoding scheme based on the ordering of the English alphabet. ASCII codes represent text in computers, communications equipment, and other devices that use text. Most modern character-encoding schemes are based on ASCII, though they support many more characters than did ASCII. The ASCII character set comprises only codes 0127. Codes 031 and 127 are non-printing control characters. Codes 128255, along with the ASCII set, make up the Extended ASCII or ISO Latin1 character set. This set is technically called ISO-88591. Codes 128159 in the Latin1 set are non-printing control characters. Characters 128159 as shown on this chart do not belong to the Latin1 character set. They are part of the Windows-1252 character set and can be used with most Windows applications, including MS Word. They should NOT be used directly on web pages. If you want to use non-ASCII characters on a web page, use the proper numeric character reference or HTML entity. All of these characters may be used on a web page by specifying the numeric character reference or HTML entity.
