Frequently Asked Questions
What counts as valid ASCII?
Standard ASCII covers the 128 code points from 0 to 127, which includes English letters, digits, and common punctuation.
Why would text fail?
Accented letters, emoji, smart quotes, and many symbols are outside ASCII and need a wider encoding such as UTF-8.
What does the report show?
It tells you if the text is valid ASCII and points out any characters that fall outside the range.
Is my data sent anywhere?
No. Everything runs in your browser, so what you enter is never uploaded.
Is it free?
Yes. Every tool here is free to use with no sign up.
