ASCII Codes

Having found myself looking for this from time to time, here is a table of ASCII characters and their representation in decimal, hexadecimal and octal forms together with the corresponding HTML entities. The first on the list are various non-printing characters and I have found myself using the TAB one in programming quiet often over the years. Currently, only the core ASCII characters appear but those from the extended set may be added later.

Decimal	Hexadecimal	Octal	Character	HTML
0	0	000	NUL (null)
1	1	001	SOH (start of heading)
2	2	002	STX (start of text)
3	3	003	ETX (end of text)
4	4	004	ETX (end of transmission)
5	5	005	ENQ (enquiry)
