What is the ASCII code for a space character?

A space character has ASCII code 32 (decimal), 20 (hex), or 00100000 (binary).

Can this converter handle Unicode characters beyond ASCII?

Yes. The tool handles all Unicode characters. Non-ASCII characters will show their Unicode code point values, not just 0-127.

What is the difference between ASCII and Unicode?

ASCII is a 7-bit character set covering 128 characters (English letters, digits, common symbols). Unicode is a superset that covers over 140,000 characters from all world scripts.

Why do I get different decimal values for the same character on different systems?

If a character is outside the standard ASCII range (0–127), its encoding depends on the character set being used (UTF-8, Windows-1252, etc.). The tool uses Unicode code points.
