It is unclear what "since 1984 (1982)" is supposed to mean. According to the cited source, it was released in 1984, so just specifying that instead. |

The '''PostScript Standard Encoding''' (often spelled '''StandardEncoding''', aliased as '''PostScript'''<ref name="Czyborra_1998_StdEnc"/>) is one of the character sets (or encoding vectors) used by [[Adobe Systems]]' [[PostScript]] (PS) since 1984.<ref name="Adobe_PLRM3"/> In 1995, [[IBM]] assigned '''code page 1276''' ([[CCSID]] 1276) to this character set.<ref>{{cite web|title=Code page 1276 information document|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170218095927/https://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/cp/cp01276.html|archive-date=2017-02-18|url=https://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/cp/cp01276.html}}</ref><ref name="IBM_CP1276"/> [[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. Codepoints 00<sub>hex</sub> (0) to 7F<sub>hex</sub> (127) are nearly identical to [[ASCII]]. (The characters at positions 27<sub>hex</sub> and 60<sub>hex</sub> 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.
