The values to the right of the ASCII character are that character's ASCII values in decimal and hexadecimal. The LSN column signifies the least significant nybble (4 bits) of the binary value, the MSN row is the most significant nybble of the binary value, thus the commercial-at (@) sign has an LSN of 0000 and an MSN of 0100, making 01000000. The second row and column show the LSN and MSN in their hexadecimal (base 16) values. 

ASCII values 32 decimal to 126 decimal are printable ASCII characters. 

The position of the Pound Sign (£) varies significantly between different interpretations of the ASCII set. In older versions it can sometimes be found at 35 decimal, in place of the hash symbol (#), but is now more often found at 163 decimal in the extended ASCII set.

ASCII is used in almost all computer systems except for some IBM midrange and mainframe systems that use EBCDIC. A more detailed explanation for ASCII and EBCDIC can be found here.
