ASCII character codes are the numerical
representation of characters. They are useful in web development for generating character strings from
random numbers, displaying non-standard characters and many other purposes. ASCII codes were originially
developed for teletype machines and the first 32 characters are non-printing (bell, backspace, etc.)
To display ASCII characters in C# use Convert.ToChar(int), in VBScript, VB.NET and PHP use
the chr(int) function. ASCII is an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. The
following codes correspond to standard ISO 8859-1.
