Hello,

I found a good application for you.  It's called MacASCII DIsplay X.  This simple application will show you ASCII code for characters you input.  Also you have the option to display all characters in an ASCII table.  Just download and install this application to view ASCII code.  I hope I helped.  Regards.

How do I display ASCII Mac os x Lion?

“ASCII” stands for “American Standard Code for Information Interchange” and was mostly used back in the DOS days. It is the most common format for text files in computers and on the internet. Because computers can only understand numbers, the ASCII code is the numerical representation of a character like “a” or the at sign “@” or it can also be an action like the Enter.

ASCII was first developed from the telegraph code and its first commercial use was a 7-bit teleprinter code promoted by Bell data services. It was on October 6, 1960 when the work on the ASCII standard started with the initial meeting of the X3.2 subcommittee of the ASA or the American Standards Association which is now called the ANSI or the American National Standards Institute.

The complete ASCII table is composed of 255 characters, excluding “0” for null value, which contains both printing and non-printing characters. The first 32 characters (1-32) are non-printing characters and here are some of them:

• 8 – backspace
• 13 – carriage return or the Enter key
• 24 – cancel
• 27 – escape
• 32 – space

Characters from 33 to 255 are printing characters which can be displayed on the screen and here are some of them:

• 33 – !
• 34 – “
• 35 – #
• 36 – $
• 37 – %
• 128 – Ç

On Windows, to display the printable characters of the ASCII table on the screen either on the command prompt or in a word processor like Notepad or Microsoft Office Word, press ALT + decimal value of the ASCII code. Visit ASCII Table and Description for the complete listing of the characters.

For instructions on Mac how to display the ASCII characters, head down to Mac Extended ASCII Character Chart. Note: there is no option or command on the computer that can or will display the entire ASCII table.
