ASCII CODES
Some word processing applications may require you to use the decimal ASCII codes to
create XPress Tags for special characters. The XPress Tags code for these characters is
<\#decimal value>. The # symbol is part of the code. The XPress Tags code must be
three digits for the ASCII code; when entering a four-digit ASCII code, do not enter the
leading zero. The following list defines the ASCII decimal codes for some common
characters.
