ZX Spectrum character set



The ZX Spectrum character set is the variant of ASCII used in the British Sinclair Spectrum computers. It is based on ASCII-1967 (the standard ASCII on which all modern character sets are based), but with one character from ASCII-1963 (the first version of ASCII), two graphics characters nonstandardly assigned, an idiosyncratic use of the control code area and use of the 128 high-bit characters beyond the ASCII range.
