The delete control character (also called DEL or rubout) is the last character in the ASCII repertoire, with the code 127. [1] It is supposed to do nothing and was designed to erase incorrect characters on paper tape. It is denoted as ^? in caret notation and is U+007F in Unicode.
All entries in the ASCII table below code 32 10 (technically the C0 control code set) are of this kind, including CR and LF used to separate lines of text. The code 127 10 is also a control character. [1] [2] Extended ASCII sets defined by ISO 8859 added the codes 128 10 through 159 10 as control characters. This was primarily done so that if ...
In 1973, ECMA-35 and ISO 2022 [18] attempted to define a method so an 8-bit "extended ASCII" code could be converted to a corresponding 7-bit code, and vice versa. [19] In a 7-bit environment, the Shift Out would change the meaning of the 96 bytes 0x20 through 0x7F [a] [21] (i.e. all but the C0 control codes), to be the characters that an 8-bit environment would print if it used the same code ...
ASCII (/ ˈ æ s k iː / ⓘ ASS-kee), [3]: 6 an acronym for American Standard Code for Information Interchange, is a character encoding standard for electronic communication. . ASCII codes represent text in computers, telecommunications equipment, and other devic
The isolated character 127 (7F hex) also belongs to this group. Table rows 2 to 7, codes 32 to 126 (20 hex to 7E hex), are the standard ASCII printable characters. Table rows 8 to 10, codes 128 to 175 (80 hex to AF hex), are a selection of international text characters. Table rows 11 to 13, codes 176 to 223 (B0 hex to DF hex), are box drawing ...
Initially defined as part of ASCII, the default C0 control code set is now defined in ISO 6429 (ECMA-48), making it part of the same standard as the C1 set invoked by the ANSI escape sequences (although ISO 2022 allows the ISO 6429 C0 set to be used without the ISO 6429 C1 set, and vice versa, provided that 0x1B is always ESC). This is used to ...
The block contains all the letters and control codes of the ASCII encoding. It ranges from U+0000 to U+007F, contains 128 characters and includes the C0 controls , ASCII punctuation and symbols , ASCII digits , both the uppercase and lowercase of the English alphabet and a control character .
Caret notation is a notation for control characters in ASCII. The notation assigns ^A to control-code 1, sequentially through the alphabet to ^Z assigned to control-code 26 (0x1A). For the control-codes outside of the range 1–26, the notation extends to the adjacent, non-alphabetic ASCII characters.
