The ASCII/EBCDIC table shown below is arranged according to character code values. Each character is represented by its decimal, octal, and hexadecimal equivalents.

To determine the ASCII code value of the character $, scan down the ASCII graphic column until you locate $. Then read to its right to find the values 36 (decimal), 044 (octal), or 24 (hexadecimal). This is the code value used by devices such as terminals, printers, or the CPU to represent the character $. To find the character with the EBCDIC code value 5B (hexadecimal) locate 5B in the hexadecimal character value column and move left to the EBCDIC graphic column containing $.

Abbreviations appearing in the table (for example NUL, SOH, STX, and ETX) are explained following the table.
