A chart of character codes

For me, in worksheet text mode, the alt codes generate different characters than the characters accessible programmatically by Maple. (I haven't explored the possibility of getting more characters with MathML or XML.) But, I see that you got a thorn for character 254, which is the same as Maple's standard font's 254. So, I can just plot the standard font for you:

plots:-display(
   plots:-pointplot([[0,0],[16,16]], color= white),
   plots:-textplot(
       [seq([.5+irem(k,16), .5+iquo(k,16), convert([k],bytes)
             ,color= black, font= [times, roman, 24]
             ]
             ,k= 0..255
             )
       ,seq([irem(k,16), .75+iquo(k,16), sprintf("%d",k)
             ,color= blue, font= [times, roman, 9], align= {above, right}
             ], k= 0..255
             )
       ]
   ),
   labels= ["low nybble", "high nybble"],
   labeldirections= [horizontal,vertical],
   axes= boxed,
   axis= [gridlines= [$(1..15)]],
   tickmarks= [(1/2 +~ [seq](k, k= 0..15) =~ [$(0..9),A,B,C,D,E,F]) $ 2],
   axesfont= [times, italic, 16],
   labelfont= [HELVETICA, bolditalic, 16],
   title= "Character codes 0-255 in the regular font",
   titlefont= [HELVETICA, BOLDOBLIQUE, 24]
);

When you plot this in Maple, you'll need to enlarge the plot with your mouse so that the characters fit neatly in their boxes.

same as bytes

Hm. I did not realize they were the same as the bytes conversion.

What keyboard

@Christopher2222 Like I said, bytes and alt-codes are not the same for me, except that the regular keyboard characters 32-127 are the same. Maybe it has something to do with what language keyboard you're using. I'm uaing USA Standard English. What are you using?
