No, it means you should not use characters not in this table:

Actually, "ascii control codes" are the ones between 0 and 31 (note that
the table begins with 32), but you should avoid other "bad characters"
as well, not just the "control codes".

I see somebody spotted some bad characters in your sig. This is what
that looks like to me:

http://www.ludd.luth.se/~vk/pics/rubbish/xeskrex-editor.dum.gif

I have _no_ idea of what those look like on _your_ computer - which is
one of the reasons those are not recommended! (If I had spotted this
when I flamed your signature for its size earlier I would not have been
so nice to you then...)

For more info, read the FAQ:

You did read this document before doing _any_ posting to alt.ascii-art,
right? This document is Required Reading for new readers to the group!
And what is this post of yours doing in the animation newsgroup?
