However, there are a few that may be useful which are dealt with in @{"Article 15" LINK "ARB:Articles_11-20/15.Strings_More/HexDec"38}. @{JCENTER}=== End of Text === @{JLEFT} @ENDNODE @NODE "NonStandard" "Appendix C - ASCII Codes - Non-Standard Codes" @{B}@{U}@{JCENTER}APPENDIX C - ASCII CODES Non-Standard Code Numbers - 128 to 255@{UB}@{UU} @{JLEFT} The code numbers from 128 to 255 are not normally included in the "true" set of ASCII numbers. However, many fonts use these numbers for special characters that are generally produced when you press keys in conjunction with the ALT and the SHIFT/ALT control keys. These code numbers are described as Non-ASCII as they have not been standardised. The characters (if any) that they represent may vary from computer to computer (e.g. from Amiga to IBM) and even from font to font for the same computer The list shown below covers code numbers 161 to 255. My setup does not give any characters for codes 128 to 160. If you do not see any characters under the "Char" headings below, or if some are missing, then the font you are using is different to mine in this range of code numbers. Do not take this list as definitive. I have included it here only to show you the @{B}type@{UB} of characters produced by the codes in the range 128-255. As indicated above, different fonts and different computers may produce a completely different set of characters. @{B}@{U} Code Number @{UU} @{U} Code Number @{UU} @{U} Code Number @{UU} @{U}Dec@{UU} @{U}Hex@{UU} @{U}Char@{UU} @{U}Dec@{UU} @{U}Hex@{UU} @{U}Char@{UU} @{U}Dec@{UU} @{U}Hex@{UU} @{U}Char@{UU}@{UB} 161 A1 ¡ 162 A2 ¢ 163 A3 £ 164 A4 ¤ 165 A5 ¥ 166 A6 ¦ 167 A7 § 168 A8 ¨ 169 A9 © 170 AA ª 171 AB « 172 AC ¬ 173 AD ­ 174 AE ® 175 AF ¯ 176 B0 ° 177 B1 ± 178 B2 ² 179 B3 ³ 180 B4 ´ 181 B5 µ 182 B6 ¶ 183 B7 · 184 B8 ¸ 185 B9 ¹ 186 BA º 187 BB » 188 BC ¼ 189 BD ½ 190 BE ¾ 191 BF ¿ 192 C0 À 193 C1 Á 194 C2 Â 195 C3 Ã 196 C4 Ä 197 C5 Å 198 C6 Æ 199 C7 Ç 200 C8 È 201 C9 É 202 CA Ê 203 CB Ë 204 CC Ì 205 CD Í 206 CE Î 207 CF Ï 208 D0 Ð 209 D1 Ñ 210 D2 Ò 211 D3 Ó 212 D4 Ô 213 D5 Õ 214 D6 Ö 215 D7 × 216 D8 Ø 217 D9 Ù 218 DA Ú 219 DB Û 220 DC Ü 221 DD Ý 222 DE Þ 223 DF ß 224 E0 à 225 E1 á 226 E2 â 227 E3 ã 228 E4 ä 229 E5 å 230 E6 æ 231 E7 ç 232 E8 è 233 E9 é 234 EA ê 235 EB ë 236 EC ì 237 ED í 238 EE î 239 EF ï 240 F0 ð 241 F1 ñ 242 F2 ò 243 F3 ó 244 F4 ô 245 F5 õ 246 F6 ö 247 F7 ÷ 248 F8 ø 249 F9 ù 250 FA ú 251 FB û 252 FC ü 253 FD ý 254 FE þ 255 FF ÿ @{JCENTER}=== End of Text === @{JLEFT} @ENDNODE
