256 ASCII character codes in a special viewable HTML format, ISO8859-1 standard, alphabet, Greek characters, alternate ampersand code, numerical.
----
The following provides a list of the HTML entity names of all the ISO Latin-1 Characters. The term ISO Latin-1 refers to the characters defined by the ISO Standard ISO8859-1 Latin-1 characters codes. RFC 1866 recommends referencing special characters with a character entity name rather than the ISO Latin-1 code entity name.
----
The ASCII code was the first 8-bit standard code that let characters - letters,numbers, punctuation, and other symbols - be represented by the same 8-bits on many different kinds of computers. It is limitted to the alphabet popular at the time in the USA but was adopted internationally( see ISO_Latin_1). It is the code used on the Internet. In the 1990's a 16-bit code was developed that will handle alphabets of many nations. It contains the ASCII sequence. The new code is called UNICODE.
----
The original code was developed in the days of mechanical terminals such as Teletypes. The meaning of the control codes are defined in terms of typewriter like actions - Tab, ring bell, back-space, return, and line feed. These have been re-interpreted as cursor movements for CRT's. Many computer systems use the control codes for special purposes. A competent software engineer will know about the control codes; what they were designed to mean, and how they are used or mis-used in real systems.
----
In many high level languages the ASCII characters are representable as a function, (eg Pascal - chr(i), C - (char)i, or Ada - CHAR'VAL(i) ) where "i" is an integer. Ada specifies a special standard package that defines ASCII with standard names for constants representing the coded character. In C they can be indicated by a backslash character (\) followed by either a special letter, or as a hexadecimal or octal number. The following dictionary defines the ASCII name, its position in the ASCII code, its original meaning, and Ada 83 symbol.
