## Overview

The ASCII Table Reference is an interactive lookup tool for the complete 7-bit ASCII character set (0–127). It provides instant access to decimal, hexadecimal, octal, binary, HTML entities, and control character representations, with built-in filtering and highlighting options to streamline development and debugging workflows.

## Inputs

- **Show Control Characters (0–31, 127)** (checkbox)
- **Show Printable Characters (32–126)** (checkbox)
- **Letter Case Filter** (select)
- **Highlight Range** (select)

## When to use

- When debugging low-level network protocols or serial communications where you need to map raw bytes to ASCII control characters.
- When writing HTML or web content and you need to find the correct HTML entity or decimal code for special symbols.
- When programming character validation logic and you need to verify the exact decimal or hex boundaries for uppercase, lowercase, or numeric ranges.

## How it works

- Toggle the visibility of control characters (0–31, 127) or printable characters (32–126) to narrow down the displayed set.
- Apply a letter case filter to isolate uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, or punctuation and symbols.
- Select a highlight range to visually emphasize specific character groups like letters, digits, or control codes in the table.
- Read the corresponding decimal, hexadecimal, octal, binary, and HTML entity values directly from the generated interactive table.

## Use cases

- Finding the hexadecimal representation of control characters like Line Feed (LF) or Carriage Return (CR) for parser configuration.
- Looking up HTML entity codes for symbols and punctuation to prevent rendering issues in web browsers.
- Verifying binary and octal values of characters when writing low-level bitwise operations or embedded systems code.

## Frequently asked questions

### What is the range of characters covered by this ASCII table?

The table covers the standard 7-bit ASCII range from 0 to 127, including both control and printable characters.

### Can I filter the table to show only numbers or letters?

Yes, you can use the Letter Case Filter to display only digits, uppercase letters, lowercase letters, or punctuation.

### Does this tool support extended ASCII characters above 127?

No, this reference tool is strictly for the standard 7-bit ASCII character set (codes 0–127).

### How do I find the HTML entity for a specific character?

Locate the character in the table to view its corresponding HTML entity representation in the dedicated column.

### Can I hide control characters like NUL, LF, or CR?

Yes, uncheck the 'Show Control Characters' option to hide codes 0–31 and 127 from the table view.
