Appendix A. Character Sets

The first 128 Unicode characters—that is, characters 0 through 127—are identical to the ASCII character set. 32 is the ASCII space; therefore, 32 is the Unicode space. 33 is the ASCII exclamation point; therefore, 33 is the Unicode exclamation point, and so on. Table A-1 lists this character set.
