RISC OS character set
open-in-new
<p>The <a href="/facts/Acorn_Computers/jCddUElC">Acorn</a> <a href="/facts/RISC_OS/Pc96teso">RISC OS</a> character set was used in the <a href="/facts/Acorn_Archimedes/BxInoqjT">Acorn Archimedes</a> series and subsequent computers from 1987 onwards. It is an extension of <a href="/facts/ISO%2fIEC_8859-1/xPNVSEE6">ISO/IEC 8859-1</a>, similar to the Windows <a href="/facts/CP1252/eyM337y0">CP1252</a> in that many of the added characters are typographical punctuation marks. </p>
