Notes
- UTF-8 supersets ASCII for the first 128 code points.
- Del (127) is a control character, not shown as printable here.
Frequently asked questions
- How many printable ASCII characters are there?
- There are 95 printable ASCII characters, from space (32) through tilde (126). Codes 0–31 plus 127 are control characters.
- What is the ASCII code for the letter A?
- Uppercase A is 65 (0x41) and lowercase a is 97 (0x61). Each lowercase letter's code is exactly 32 more than its uppercase counterpart.
- Is ASCII the same as UTF-8?
- No, but UTF-8 is backward compatible with ASCII: the first 128 code points are encoded identically, so any plain ASCII text is valid UTF-8.
