Code to Character Map The standard ANSI or ASCII characters (decimal code 1-127) should appear the same in all Operating Systems (OSs). The extended characters (decimal 128-255) represented with raw binary codes may appear differently from OS to OS when viewed in a text editor, browser or other program. Most HTML pages use character or entity reference codes (e.g. '¢' for '¢') so they will display correctly in a browser regardles of the OS. (See also: Character to Code Map) You will need IE 4 (or greater) or Netscape 5 (or greater) to see some of the characters |

This table represents the most common character mappings by OS. It was tested on Windows 98 and Mac OS 9 and OS X. Appearance may vary depending on your settings and the application. For example with Internet Explorer the binary characters display as the ANSI characters on a Macintosh with OS9 while they
displayed as the native OS defaults for Win98 and Mac OS X.
The header for this page specifies <META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" CONTENT="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> so I don't know why IE doesn't always display ANSI values. * The ANSI characters are generated with HTML character reference coding (&#xxx;) where xxx is the decimal code while the binary code contains the actual 8-bit character which will display differently depending on your OS and application software. Windows 98 sometimes displays the ANSI characters and sometimes the characters listed in the Win column. I haven't figured out what causes them to change, but it must be a system setting because word processors usually use the same character map as browsers. See also: Entity Reference codes. |
