ASCII Code 141

About This Character

ASCII code 141 (0x8D) represents the Unused character in the extended ASCII table (128–255). It is part of the extended ASCII character set defined by the Windows-1252 (CP-1252) encoding. The extended ASCII range builds upon the original 128-character ASCII set, adding accented letters, currency symbols, typographic marks, and mathematical symbols. These characters are defined by the Windows-1252 (CP-1252) encoding, which is a superset of ISO 8859-1 (Latin-1). In modern web development, UTF-8 encoding is preferred, but understanding extended ASCII remains important for legacy system compatibility and character encoding troubleshooting.
