ASCII Character Set for Linux* and macOS*

This topic describes the ASCII character set that is available on Linux* and macOS operating systems.

The ASCII character set contains characters with decimal values 0 through 127. The first half of each of the numbered columns identifies the character as you would enter it on a terminal or as you would see it on a printer. Except for SP and HT, the characters with names are nonprintable. In the figure, the characters with names are defined as follows:

NUL

Null

DC1

Device Control 1 (XON)

SOH

Start of Heading

DC2

Device Control 2

STX

Start of Text

DC3

Device Control 1 (XOFF)

ETX

End of Text

DC4

Device Control 4

EOT

End of Transmission

NAK

Negative Acknowledge

ENQ

SYN

ACK

ETB

End of Transmission Block

BEL

CAN

BS

SO

US

SI

SP

DLE

Data Link Escape

DEL

The remaining half of each column identifies the character by the binary value of the byte; the value is stated in three radixes—octal, decimal, and hexadecimal. For example, the uppercase letter A has, under ASCII conventions, a storage value of hexadecimal 41 (a bit configuration of 01000001), equivalent to 101 in octal notation and 65 in decimal notation.
