Macintosh Latin is a character encoding which is used by Kermit to represent text on the Apple Macintosh (but not by standard Mac OS fonts). It is a modification of Mac OS Icelandic[1] to include all characters in ISO/IEC 8859-1, DEC MCS, the PostScript Standard Encoding, and a Dutch ISO 646 variant[a] (with ÿ or ij being a substitute for ij).[2] Although Macintosh Latin is designed to be compatible with the standard Macintosh Mac OS Roman encoding for the shared subset of characters, the two should not be confused.
Layout
Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128–255) is shown, the first half (code points 0–127) being the same as ASCII.
Letter Number Punctuation Symbol Other Undefined
Footnotes
- ^ The proposal mentions a "Dutch ISO 646 variant" contributing the Florin sign (ƒ). There is no Florin sign in Code page 1019, so it appears to mean Code page 1102.
