PostScript Standard Encoding
The PostScript Standard Encoding is one of the character sets used by Adobe Systems' PostScript since 1984. In 1995, IBM assigned code page 1276 to this character set. NeXT based the character set for its NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP operating systems on this one.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 to 7Fhex are nearly identical to ASCII. 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.
