ÿ : 256th ascii character (should henceforth be the Programmers' day symbol)
correction: Extended ASCII character per http://www.ascii-code.com/ http://www.ascii-code.com/
- ysangkok 15y agoThere are only 128 ASCII characters.
- Killah911 15y agoYou're right, I should have said Extended ASCII
- MichaelGG 15y agoExtended ASCII isn't a proper term either. ASCII is 7-bits, that's all. There's no 8-bit extension to ASCII. Extended ASCII is really more like "some 8-bit encoding that shares the first 127 values with ASCII" -- and there are plenty of such encodings.

- unwind 15y agoNit-pick: that's not an ASCII character at all, since ASCII is a 7-bit encoding it does not contain a code point with the value 255 (or 256). See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII and http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%B8#Character_encodings http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C5%B8#Character_encodings.
