Yes, it's a unix command. A custom one. The standard thing is:
man ascii
But it only gives ascii, while my command displays also non-ascii
characters.
Since we're in gnu.emacs.help, you should rather use an emacs
function. For example:
(defun ascii ()
(interactive)
(loop
for i from 0 to 255
do (when (zerop (mod i 8)) (insert "\n"))
(insert (format " %3d %c " i i))))
Then you can type M-x ascii RET
in any buffer to see the ISO-8859-1 characters.
(This is not the codes you have to type with C-q, these depend on the
language environment selected, and if the coding system of the buffer
doesn't include the iso-8859-1 character, you'll be asked to change it
when you save the buffer).
It's possible to convert to and from coding systems in emacs, but I
don't know the exact functions to use. I usually do these things with
clisp.

You never feed me.
Perhaps I'll sleep on your face.
That will sure show you.
