!!! Overview [{$pagename}], generally, are those which are not in the standard [ASCII] character set, which uses 7-bit characters and thus has values 0 to 127. [ASCII] Codes 0 to 31 and 127 are non-printing control characters, while codes 32 to 126 match the keys on a US keyboard ("a", "A", etc.). !! Using 8 Bits Gives You an Extra 96 Characters Since computers store characters in 8-[bits], many uses have been found for the extra 128 values, most commonly for European characters such as A with Grave accent (À). And actually, only 96 of the codes are used * values 128 to 159 are not assigned Graphics, just as 0 to 31 are reserved for non-printing control characters. !!
