"US-ASCII" is the same as ANSI X3.4 which is the same as ISO 646-IRV
(International Reference Version) which is the same as the US national
variant of ISO-646. In other words, 0x23 = '#' and 0x24 = '$'.
An historical note: the national variants of ISO-646 replaced these two
characters as well as the positions occupied by '~', '^', '{', '|', '}', '
[', '\' and ']' which made for interesting C programs :-)
