Brief History: ASCII means American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
It was developed a long time ago and now the first 31 non-printing characters
are rarely used for their original purpose. ASCII was actually designed for use
with teletypes and so the descriptions are somewhat obscure.
Carriage Return: In many systems carriage return is ASCII 13 and 10 together, which is a line feed and vertical tab. That basically means the start of the next line. In C/C++/Java it will be in escape sequence format, \n or forward slash N. In BASIC systems it can be called by CHR(13)+CHR(10). In Visual Basic you can use "VBCRLF". ASCII - ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1) Entities: Microsoft Windows Latin-1 Added Characters in Green. To read the chart below, find what you want, add the left number to the number on top. For example "Z" would be "50" and "A" or hexadecimal "5A".
