Do you ever find it hard to remember the html for the little ASCII characters you’re supposed to use so your code validates when designing a website or while making your next post in your favorite blogging program? If you don’t have them all stored in your memory by now, I may have a little tool that will help you.
With the help of some JavaScript and a whole page of ASCII characters, I whipped up a page that lets you click on the character you want to use, copy the html from the box below and then paste it into the page you are working on. It may be a helpful tool or a useless one depending upon who uses it I guess. It’s saved me from looking all over the internet many times while building a site.
It’s free to use, go ahead and bookmark it and feel free to leave a comment if this is something you can use or not. Enjoy!

Hi Jason! I just wanted to say that I love when you whip things. I don’t care if it’s a horse to go faster, Johnny Rico in Starship Troopers after his actions that to that young solder getting died in training, or helpful ASCII pages. Also, Ascii was a videogame peripheral company that made really inferior products that only stupid and poor people bought. I wasn’t sure if you knew that or not. But now you do!

Did you know they actually made three of those horrible Starship Troopers movies?

The 2nd and 3rd movies were direct to DVD I believe. And I also think the 3rd one was just recently released as it’s in the redbox at my work. I liked the first one but I’m pretty sure the other two are garbage.
