==Character set==

The following table shows the PostScript Standard Encoding. Each character is shown with a potential [[Unicode]] equivalent. Codepoints 00_hex (0) to 7F_hex (127) are nearly identical to [[ASCII]]. (The characters at positions 27_hex and 60_hex reflect an earlier interpretation of the visual appearance of those ASCII characters than the interpretation that was formalized in Unicode; see {{section link|Quotation mark|Typewriters and early computers}}.) 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.
