I use "hist" for that.  My "h" stuff goes back to T6000
Xenix days.  I copied /usr/pub/ascii to /usr/pub/ASCII
and added the decimal section to that.  In addition to
the ASCII charts it can give me quick help on:

  Selected UNIX commands
  Parameter substitution in the Bourne and Korn shells
  Regular expressions in grep, egrep, awk, ed, sed and the KornShell
  Signal names and numbers
