The `!PostScript Standard Encoding`! (often spelled `!StandardEncoding`!, aliased as `!PostScript`!`:cite-ref-czyborra-1998-stdenc-1-0[`F5bf`_`[1`#cite-note-czyborra-1998-stdenc-1]`_`f]) is one of the character sets (or encoding vectors) used by `F33f`_`[Adobe Systems`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Adobe_Systems]`_`f' `F33f`_`[PostScript`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=PostScript]`_`f (PS) since 1984.`:cite-ref-adobe-plrm3-2-0[`F5bf`_`[2`#cite-note-adobe-plrm3-2]`_`f] In 1995, `F33f`_`[IBM`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=IBM]`_`f assigned `!code page 1276`!

>>Character set

The following table shows the PostScript Standard Encoding. Each character is shown with a potential `F33f`_`[Unicode`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Unicode]`_`f equivalent. Codepoints 00hex (0) to 7Fhex (127) are nearly identical to `F33f`_`[ASCII`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=ASCII]`_`f. (The characters at positions 27hex and 60hex reflect an earlier interpretation of the visual appearance of those ASCII characters than the interpretation that was formalized in Unicode; see `F33f`_`[Quotation mark § Typewriters and early computers`:/page/wikibook/entry.mu`zim=wikipedia_en_all_nopic_2025-08.zim|entry_path=Quotation_mark]`_`f.) 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.
