The PostScript Standard Encoding (often spelled StandardEncoding, aliased as PostScript) is one of the character sets (or encoding vectors) used by Adobe Systems' PostScript (PS) since 1984. In 1995, IBM assigned code page 1276 (CCSID 1276) to this character set.{{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}} NeXT based the character set for its NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP operating systems on this one.

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.
