Check if text is pure ASCII (0–127).

Reports non-ASCII positions if any.

About Validate ASCII

Validate ASCII answers a precise question: does every input character belong to standard ASCII? Standard ASCII covers U+0000 through U+007F, including visible letters and punctuation plus control characters such as line feed.

This is useful before sending data to legacy systems, generating ASCII-only filenames, creating fixtures, or debugging text copied from rich editors. A string can look normal while containing curly quotes, non-breaking spaces, accented letters, or emoji.

The validator reports positions and Unicode code points so a long value can be fixed precisely. The original source is never modified.

Do not confuse standard ASCII with printable ASCII. Newline and other control characters are still ASCII. If your application permits only printable characters, that is a stricter requirement.

Load Sample, Clear, and the validation report make it easy to test copied text before a downstream conversion or export.
