Here is a simple 8086 assembly language to print all the ASCII characters to the screen. The program will print the first character and then wait for the user to press any key before displaying this next character. You need to keep pressing any key on the keyboard till the last ASCII character is printed. I write this program to find the tree symbol which I wanted for this program.

Print Characters 0 to 255

.model tiny
.code
org 100h


main proc near

mov ax,00
mov cx,256d
mov bx,0
loop1:

  mov ah,02h	; Outputs a character to the standard output device
  mov dx,bx	; mov character number from cx to dx
  int 21h	; dos interrupt 21h
  
  mov ah,00h	; Wait program to read the character from the keyboard
  int 16h	; keyboard interrupt 
  
  inc bx	; increment bx  
loop loop1

mov ah,4ch	; dos funcion to terminate and return to dos
mov al,00
int 21h  	; dos interrupt 21h  
; add your code here

ret
endp
end main
