You've created a chart of the first 128 ASCII characters. Characters that appear as a small square can't be printed.

What is going on here? Let's see how **FullCode.Value** gets its values. Let's begin with the outer horizontal gallery. Its **Items** property uses the **Sequence** function to create 8 columns, starting with 0 with increments of 16:

Nested within this gallery is another vertical gallery. Its **Items** property fills in the gap left by the increment of 16 from the outer gallery:

To show the extended ASCII characters, it is a simple matter of changing the starting point for the chart, set in the Sequence function for the outer gallery:

`Sequence( 8, 128, 16 ) As HighNibble`

Finally, to show the characters in a different font, set the **Font** property of the second label to a value such as **'Dancing Script'**.
