Each character is shown with a potential [[Unicode]] equivalent if available. Space and control characters are represented by the abbreviations for their names. Differences from [[ISO-8859-1]] are shown with darker shading on top of their legend colours. {\| {{chset-tableformat}} {{chset-table-header\|RISC OS character set<ref name="Avis_2001_RISCOS"/><ref name="ReadMe">{{Citation\|title=L2/19-025: Proposal to add characters from legacy computers and teletext to the UCS\|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2019/19025-terminals-prop.pdf\|chapter=ReadMe.txt\|date=2019-01-04}}</ref><ref>{{Citation\|title=L2/19-025: Proposal to add characters from legacy computers and teletext to the UCS\|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2019/19025-terminals-prop.pdf\|chapter=RISCOSV.TXT\|date=2019-01-04}}</ref><ref>{{Citation\|title=L2/19-025: Proposal to add characters from legacy computers and teletext to the UCS\|url=https://www.unicode.org/L2/L2019/19025-terminals-prop.pdf\|chapter=RISCOSI.TXT\|date=2019-01-04}}</ref>}}
