{{short description|Character encoding on Macintosh computers}}

'''Mac OS Greek encoding''' (also known as '''MacGreek encoding''' or '''Macintosh Greek encoding''') is used in [[Apple Macintosh]] computers to represent texts in the [[Greek language]] that uses the [[Greek script]].<ref name=IBM/> This encoding is registered as IBM code page/[[CCSID]] 1280<ref name="IBM"/><ref>{{cite web|title=CCSID 1280 information document|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20141129224532/http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid1280.html|archive-date=2014-11-29|url=http://www-01.ibm.com/software/globalization/ccsid/ccsid1280.html}}</ref> and Windows code page 10006.<ref name=DIS/>

==Code page layout==

The following table shows the MacGreek encoding. Each character is shown with its equivalent [[Unicode]] code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128&ndash;255) is shown, the first half (code points 0&ndash;127) being the same as [[ASCII]].
