ZX Spectrum character set
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The ZX Spectrum character set is the variant of ASCII used in the ZX Spectrum family computers. It is based on ASCII-1967 but the characters ^, ` and DEL
are replaced with ↑, £ and ©. It also differs in its use of the C0 control codes other than the common BS
and CR
, and it makes use of the 128 high-bit characters beyond the ASCII range.[1] The ZX Spectrum's main set of printable characters and system font are also used by the Jupiter Ace computer.
