It's merely the decimal value of the character with a leading zero. There's a plethora of ASCII* equivalence charts, just do a search for 'ASCII'. Be sure and select one that's decimal and not octal or hexadecimal. You can tell if it's decimal if some character has a digit in its equivalence code that's greater than 7 and not an alpha A-F. In other words if the characters proceed 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,10,11... it's octal. If they proceed 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F,10,11... it's hexadecimal.
*ASCII==American Standard Code for Information Interchange. As opposed to, say, EBCDIC which is Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code.
You can also just go to
Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Character Map
and it displays the character set for every font installed on your computer.

The name of the program is charmap.exe. You can either do a search or just enter it in the Run command.
On my computer it is located at %SystemRoot%\system32\charmap.exe
