There is a list of the number combinations at
http://www.crosswinds.net/~llizard/ascii-art/charactmap.html#extended
However, the list does not say what the numbers make for various
operating systems. The characters numbered from #127 to #255 are not
common to all keyboard systems and can look quite different. Please bear
that in mind when you use these characters.


Here is a chart of standard ASCII characters. Please examine the chart
carefully. Note that there are no characters that look like � � � � � �
� � or any letters with accents.

Naturally, you are a child of the universe and will want to use
characters that
are not on that chart; you should feel free to type out keyboard art
using many
different fonts and characters. Exchange your creations with your
e-friends via
e-mail or put them on your webpage but PLEASE do not post any
nonstandard
keyboard art in the newsgroup alt.ascii-art because not only will you
cause and/or
receive a lot of grief, the nonstandard characters you have chosen will
not look the
same to other people as they do to you.

You might also like to read the section of the ASCII-art FAQ entitled
"what isn't ascii-art":

NOTE: I never pick up my mail from the yahoo address. If you
are e-mailing and hit the reply button, add an "e" to "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.

Ok, I thought ascii where the characters that you use alt+(any number
combination) like: ħ �  ect...  Is there a list of all the number combinations
and what they make somewhere?  

Please respond to  jas...@hotmail.com  


Thanks
