Access ASCII table quickly using a single command

Written on December 23rd, 2010 at 23:07 pm by shredder12

Doesn't matter how common the character is, I just can't remember the ascii values and always end up referring the table. I was really annoyed at first because the only way I knew of finding an ascii table was through web and when you don't have enough bandwidth even opening a single html page sucks. But before I could learn to remember the value, I came to know that there is even an ASCII manpage.

Basically all you have to do is open the damn manpage to view the table.

[shredder12]$ man ascii
