Ascii Character Set
The Control Characters
The first 32 values are non-printing
control characters, such
as Return and Line feed.
You generate these characters on the keyboard by holding down the
Control key while you strike another key. For example, Bell is
value 7, Control plus G, often shown in documents as ^G. Notice that
7 is 64 less than the value of G (71); the Control key subtracts 64 from
the value of the keys that it modifies.
