ASCII Characters

This table is a list of all of the ASCII characters, along with their named entities and numeric character references. You can insert these characters into an HTML document by inserting the named entity or the numeric reference into the source, and you can insert them in Office and other applications by holding down the ALT key and punching in the four-digit version of the numeric reference. For instance, to insert a lowercase n with a tilde (ñ - ñ), you would hold down ALT and punch in “0241” on the keypad section of your keyboard.

You can also access these characters (in Windows) in Character Map: Start --> Programs --> Accessories --> System Tools --> Character Map.

[NOTE: This list is case sensitive]
