Correct ASCII value of Pound sign
ascii
Solution
There is no ASCII code for the pound sign. ASCII only defines codes 0-127 in the tables you've linked; everything beyond that is extensions. You'll need to determine which extension to ASCII you're using.
The pound sign has number 163 in Latin-1 (aka ISO-8859-1), and number 156 in code page 437. It also has number 163 in Unicode, though you'll need to encode it as more than one byte.
Problem
I am checking for the ASCII value of the pound sign (£). I've found multiple answers: - http://www.ascii-code.com/ Says A3 = 163 is the ASCII value of the pound sign. - http://www.asciitable.com/ Says 156 is the Pound sign and 163 is some other character. - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pound_sign : Says Alt+163 and Alt+156 both are the ways to type pound sign in US keyboard. I assume here 163 and 156 means ASCII values. (But only 163 works for me) What is the correct way?
