Does an ascii equivalent of 0x80 exist?

Does anybody know the ASCII equivalent of 80(hexadecimal)? Does it even exist? I was just wondering, the table only goes up to 7F.

No.

ASCII is by definition a 7-bit character code, with encodings from 0 to 127 (0x7F). Anything outside that range is not ASCII.

There are a number of 8-bit and wider character codes based on ASCII (sometimes, with questionable accuracy, called "extended ASCII") that assign some meaning to 0x80. For example, both Latin-1 and Unicode treat 0x80 as a control character, while Windows-1252 uses it for the Euro symbol.
