The block contains all the [[ISO basic Latin alphabet|letters]] and [[ASCII control character|control codes]] of the ASCII encoding. It ranges from U+0000 to U+007F, contains 128 characters and includes the [[C0 controls]], ASCII [[punctuation]] and [[symbol]]s, [[ASCII]] [[numerical digit|digits]], both the [[uppercase]] and [[lowercase]] of the [[English alphabet]] and a [[control character]].

===C0 controls===

The [[C0 and C1 control codes|C0 Controls]], referred to as C0 ASCII control codes in version 1.0, are inherited from ASCII and other 7-bit and 8-bit encoding schemes. The Alias names for C0 controls are taken from the [[ISO/IEC 6429|ISO/IEC 6429:1992]] standard.<ref name=charts />

A variant is defined for a zero with a short diagonal stroke: U+0030 DIGIT ZERO, U+FE00 VS1 (0&#xfe00;).<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2015/15268-slashed-zero.pdf|title=L2/15-268: Proposal to Represent the Slashed Zero Variant of Empty Set|date=2015-10-30|first1=Barbara|last1=Beeton|first2=Asmus|last2=Freytag|first3=Laurențiu|last3=Iancu|first4=Murray|last4=Sargent}}</ref><ref name="uts51"/>

Twelve characters (#, *, and the digits) can be followed by U+FE0E VS15 or U+FE0F VS16 to create [[emoji]] variants.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2011/11438-emoji-var.pdf|title=L2/11-438: Emoji Variation Sequences (Revision of L2/11-429)|date=2011-12-22|first=Peter|last=Edberg}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2015/15301-emoji-sequences.pdf|title=L2/15-301: A proposal for 278 standardized variation sequences for emoji|date=2015-11-01|first=Roozbeh|last=Pournader}}</ref><ref name="UTR51">{{Cite web|url=http://unicode.org/reports/tr51/|title=UTR #51: Unicode Emoji|publisher=Unicode Consortium|date=20202023-0209-1105}}</ref><ref name="EmojiData">{{Cite web|url=https://unicode.org/Public/UNIDATA/emoji/emoji-data.txt|title=UCD: Emoji Data for UTR #51|publisher=Unicode Consortium|date=20212023-0802-2601}}</ref>

They are [[keycap]] base characters, for example #️⃣ (U+0023 NUMBER SIGN U+FE0F VS16 U+20E3 COMBINING ENCLOSING KEYCAP).
