[2] In 1995, IBM assigned code page 1276 (CCSID 1276) to this character set.
[3][4] NeXT based the character set for its NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP operating systems on this one.
The following table shows the PostScript Standard Encoding.
(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 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.
