Geeky ASCII-code post

[Avengardh]

That's right, you are reading this because the subject hooked you in!

Ok ok, the reason for this post is to quote something that I posted on the other forum, since we are moving over here, I might as well:


Totally unrelated note, does anyone know what the ASCII ALT+ command for the "reversed" question sign is? I always forget it. If you don't know what the hell I am talking about, then you probably don't know it *smile*, thanks anyway


Hm, yes, aside from that, any other funky ASCII code tales?? I am thinking of getting a signature with ASCII art on it...I know, I am rambling, your fault for reading :P

I found this page surfing around a bit--

I think the upside down question mark is alt-168. Strephonade, thanks for the page, I've been wondering some things about ASCII code myself so I'll check it out :)

I was looking for these! It'll make french class so much easier.

also I think in HTML you can express those ASCII chars as &#<number>;

Haha, I remember the Windows 95 days when you could create a file/folder with the NULL charecter appended to it (ALT-255). You could make something like a folder called "KIDDIE PORN" on someones desktop and they wouldn't be able to delete it.

I love ASCII. Back when I programmed in Qbasic ASCII was all I could use to make graphics. Using the actual DRAW command was far too difficult. You needed a massive amount of time to draw them. I quickly deemed that I'd just use crude ASCII art instead.

Anyway, there are many places on the internet where one can find the ASCII code printed out, so I would advise you to go look for one.

Also, apologies for making you ramble. I don't know how I managed to do that yet, but I promise to try and figure it out, and cease it immediately.
