PostScript Standard Encoding

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is an old revision of this page, as edited by Matthiaspaul (talk | contribs) at 15:45, 23 September 2018 (Undid revision 859032677 by Spitzak (talk) Restoring info after mass-removal of vital information by Spitzak without consensus. Table is basically useless without decimal numbers.). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

The PostScript Standard Encoding (often spelled StandardEncoding, aliased as PostScript[1]) is one of the character sets (or encoding vectors) used by Adobe Systems' PostScript (PS) since 1984 (1982).[2] In 1995, IBM assigned code page 1276 to this character set.[3] NeXT based the character set for its NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP operating systems on this one.

Character set

The following table shows the PostScript Standard Encoding. Each character is shown with a potential Unicode equivalent. Code points differing from the NeXT character set are shown boxed. Codepoints 00hex (0) to 7Fhex (127) are nearly identical to ASCII (the characters at positions 27hex and 60hex reflect an earlier interpretation of the visual appearance of those ASCII characters than the interpretation that was formalized in Unicode). The upper half of the table contains punctuation and typographic characters, currency symbols, ligatured letters, a selection of modified base letters used in European languages, and a selection of diacritic marks to be used in composing accented letters.
