Common ASCII Codes
💻 What is ASCII Converter?
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a character encoding standard that represents English letters, digits, and special characters using 7-bit numeric codes (0-127). Established in 1963, it became the foundation for computer communication and remains the base compatibility range for modern encodings like UTF-8. This tool converts between text and ASCII codes in decimal, hexadecimal, and binary formats.
