The following table is a mapping of characters used in the
standard ASCII and ISO Latin-1 1252 character set. The decimal "Dec" column may
be used to locate the number for ApplyTilde and ProcessTilde functions in
IDAutomation Barcode Fonts,
Components and
Label Printing Software.
The characters from ASCII 0 to 31 are commonly referred
to as function characters because they perform functions instead of a printed
character. Normally, these characters are not visible unless an application is
used such as IDAutomation's
Barcode Scanner ASCII
String Decoder. Common function codes are 9 which creates a tab and 13 which
performs a return. The ^ in the Char column refers
to the control key. For example, pressing CTRL-G sends ASCII 7 to the PC and
creates a bell sound.
ASCII characters 32 to 128 are common among most languages
and character sets, while characters above ASCII 127 are different for almost
every character set. In the USA, Windows systems use the Latin-1 character
set by default while the Macintosh uses the
Roman
character set.
