This page will generate character codes for ASCII characters. Special characters must be encoded before they can be included in a web page. By providing the lowest and highest character codes, you can see the codes and the generated characters by clicking on the button. To use these codes in HTML, place &#XXX; into the source code, where XXX is the number provided next to the character. For example, the @ symbol is encoded as @
The default values are set to 33 through 255 because 33 is the first printable character, and 255 is the final value of the ASCII code. Unicode values can be found for codes higher than 255, but these relate mostly to characters for foreign languages and would probably not be used as much as those in the default range. There are thousands of these characters and they will show up on your screen if you have the languages recognized by choosing the character coding.
