How to read this
- Add 32 to a capital and you get the lowercase letter — one bit flips.
- Digits start at 48, so subtracting 48 from the code gives the number.
- Holding Ctrl clears the top three bits — that is why Ctrl+I is a tab.
- Everything under 32, plus 127, draws nothing. Those show their abbreviation instead.
