Typically chars 0-31 are called control characters, but 127 is
one as well, making 33 control chars altogether.
Note though: Characters above 127 are not ASCII.
Some character sets (eg iso-8859-1 aka latin-1) reservere the
first 32 characters of the 128-255 region for some sort of
control characters, I don't know the exact details. I do know
that Microsoft (ab)uses that reserved range for curly quotes and
the like.
