ASCII Codes


ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devices. Although ASCII has been extended and superseded by Unicode, ASCII codes are still pervasive in computing, particularly when working in the terminal.

The following table summarizes the ASCII codes expressed in several convenient bases, and additionally provides the "carat escaped" value as is often seen in neovim.
