Line 1:
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 (1982).<ref name="Adobe_PLRM3"/> In 1995, [[IBM]] assigned '''code page 1276''' to this character set.<ref name="IBM_CP1276"/> [[NeXT]] based the character set for its [[NeXTSTEP]] and [[OPENSTEP]] operating systems on this one.
==Character
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 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). 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.
