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

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or set:
“No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
—T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
“Such a set of tittle tattle, prittle prattle visitants! Oh Dear! I am so sick of the ceremony and fuss of these fall lall people! So much dressing—chitchat—complimentary nonsense—In short, a country town is my detestation. All the conversation is scandal, all the attention, dress, and almost all the heart, folly, envy, and censoriousness.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
