There is NO such character in ASCII. ASCII is a 7 bit character set, and 
no ASCII code has a value bigger than 127.

There are a number of Extended ASCII character sets (hundreds if not 
thousands). One common one is ISO 8859-1 also called ISO LATIN-1 which 
has this character at this location, but Extended ASCII is NOT ASCII 
(Note, it is even produced by a very different standards body). The 
character also occurs here in ANSI Extended ASCII, but again, this is 
NOT ASCII.
