Commonly Used HTML ASCII Characters
I have tried to list here all those ASCII codes I need to used quite often when working with websites. Sometimes it would take you time to find out an ASCII alternative for a particular character although I believe some of them are normally learned by heart by developers. ASCII characters are very useful in character and url encoding and are widely used and needed by developers.
