8 BIT ASCII encoding (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
Rows 00 and 10 and 7F(DEL) are control characters and are usually considered unprintable (non-text)   XML discourages use of characters 80 - 84, 86 - 9F (85 is … i.e. …)   They do render in some character sets. Question mark is x'3F', other appearances in this table are subsitiutions by your browser
