ASCII 133
Character 133 ( )
Latin-1 Supplement
Unassigned in Latin-1 / part of the C1 control block. Not used in modern text encoding; browsers accept these code points but they carry no display glyph.
Common uses & context
Decimal 133 (0x85) falls in the C1 control range (128–159). In the Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) encoding these code points are unassigned control positions with no visible glyph, and in Windows-1252 many of them were repurposed for typographic characters like curly quotes and the em dash. That mismatch is a classic cause of mojibake: a byte stored as Windows-1252 but decoded as Latin-1 (or UTF-8) shows the wrong character or a replacement box.
In modern Unicode, U+0085 is a C1 control code. Its UTF-8 encoding is the two-byte sequence 0xC2 0x85, which is why a raw high byte 0x85 from a legacy Latin-1 file becomes garbled when a program assumes UTF-8.

- ▸Code 133 is in the C1 control range — unassigned in Latin-1, repurposed in Windows-1252.
- ▸A raw byte 0x85 decoded as UTF-8 becomes garbage; specify the correct charset explicitly.
- ▸UTF-8 encoding: 0xC2 0x85; Unicode code point U+0085.
Unicode & UTF-8 note
In Unicode this is U+0085. In UTF-8 it encodes to the byte sequence 0xC2 0x85. In legacy Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) it is a single byte 0x85, which is why Latin-1 files often appear as mojibake when interpreted as UTF-8.
Frequently asked questions
What character is ASCII code 133?
ASCII code 133 is the character ' ' (Character 133). In hexadecimal it is 0x85, in octal 0205, and in binary 10000101.
What is 0x85 in ASCII?
Hexadecimal 0x85 equals decimal 133, which is the character ' ' (Character 133). To convert hex to ASCII yourself, read the two hex digits as a base-16 number (0x85 = 133) and look up that code point.
How do I write the character with code 133 in code?
In JavaScript use String.fromCharCode(133); in Python use chr(133); in HTML use the numeric entity …. In a URL it is percent-encoded as %85, and in UTF-8 it is stored as the byte sequence 0xC2 0x85.
