Note Submitter: bisqwit at iki dot fi ---- In reply to jacobfri, the range 128-255 equals to whatever character set you are using. Try toying with header('Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1'); and replacing that iso-8859-1 with values like cp850, and suddenly your bytes might start looking surprisingly similar to the ones at www.asciitable.com. Strings don't store glyphs. They only store bytes. It's the matter of your UA/terminal of deciding what alphabets those bytes are made to look like. That's where the character set/encoding steps in.
