I am always having trouble remembering what certain characters are called in English. That is why I compiled this list, showing the most frequently used characters, along with the corresponding ASCII-code and the English name. This overview is far from complete but at least but it can be used as an ASCII table as well.

Glyph	ASCII	Name
	33	exclamation mark
	34	double quote
	35	number
	36	dollar
	37	percent
	38	ampersand
	39	right quote
	40	left parenthesis
	41	right parenthesis
	42	asterisk
	43	plus
	44	comma
	45	hyphen
	46	period
	47	slash

After the slash, the “normal” 0 to 9 characters follow. They are too boring to add to this page.

	58	colon
	59	semicolon
	60	less than
	61	equal
	62	greater than
	63	question mark
	64	at

After the at, the upper case A to Z characters follow. They are also too boring to add to this page.

	91	left bracket
	92	backslash
	93	right bracket
	94	circum
	95	underscore
??	96	to be added

The lower case a to z characters take up ASCII-characters 97 to 122.
You may wonder why the lower characters don’t simply follow their upper case brethren. Remember: this is ASCII, this is computer stuff from the dark ages. If you take an upper case U, which is ASCII code 85, and add 32 to that code, you get character code 117, which is the lower case u. 32 is the magic ‘distance’ between any upper and lower case character and 32 is a truly magical, efficient number that any computer or nerd can relate to. Even I love 32.

	123	left brace
	124	bar
	125	right brace
	126	tilde

Although ASCII is an 8-bit character set which can accommodate 256 characters, only the first 127 characters are really standardized. Anything beyond that is different from one computer platform or operating system to another. I may add that stuff later on since there are still quite a number of interesting glyphs to add.
