Good ASCII tables make it easy to find the effects of the Shift and Ctrl keys. Like, at a glance, I should be able to answer questions like “which control character corresponds to ^V?”
On a Unix terminal, the Shift key zeros out bit 6 and the Ctrl key zeros out both bits 6 and 7. (And the alt key sets bit 8 to 1.)
In man ascii on Linux, it’s trivial to see that ^V is SYN.
It would be much easier to read if it was actually table, i.e., if hex codes and the characters were separated into their own columns.
Why is it better?
How is breaking a decades-old relied-upon standard better?
What do you mean, “breaking”? This isn’t a new encoding scheme, it’s an informational page showing ASCII encoding.
What’s wrong with man ascii?
What’s wrong with EBCDIC?
Love typst! I’m looking forward to writing RPGs in it some day :)
Would be nice to have an additional checkbox for enabling that a purely numeric input also shows the number characters.
E.g. with input: "32"
The “octal” toggle replaces decimal, not hexadecimal contrary to its label.

No, I don’t think you did.
