Ascii code

ASCII stands for American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Before the introduction of Unicode, ASCII was the de facto character set for digital computing. Nowadays ASCII is widely considered as an arbitrary and useless character set. However, it is still in use on Windows systems.


This page is meant especially for Windows users. While under Linux and MacOSCX Unicode is de facto the only character set, under Windows using the Ascii position is still quite common for Western European languages.

Under Windows, in order to enter extended Ascii characters that are not present on the keyboard you just enter Alt + (Ascii position).

For instance, to enter ñ under Windows just type: Alt + 164, see table below.

Unicode equivalents of extended Ascii

Here is a list of the unicode equivalents of the symbols defined in extended Ascii.

To enter the symbol in Linux type Ctrl+(Shift)+U and then the hexadecimal code.

For instance, to enter ñ in Linux just type: Ctrl+(Shift)+U, and then 00F1. Observe, that the hex number to enter has to be four digit, so in this case filled up with zeroes in front.


To enter the symbol in Mac OS type (Alt) + hexadecimal code.

For instance, to enter ñ in Mac OS type: (Alt) + 00F1. Observe, that the hex number to enter has to be four digit, so in this case filled up with zeroes in front.


To create the HTML code for special characters, enter: &# + decimal code + ;

That means in order to create the letter ñ enter: ñ

Meaning dec. hex.
