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 sooner does a great man depart, and leave his character as public property, than a crowd of little men rushes towards it. There they are gathered together, blinking up to it with such vision as they have, scanning it from afar, hovering round it this way and that, each cunningly endeavouring, by all arts, to catch some reflex of it in the little mirror of himself.”
—Thomas Carlyle (1795–1881)
“A more secret, sweet, and overpowering beauty appears to man when his heart and mind open to the sentiment of virtue. Then he is instructed in what is set above him. He learns that his being is without bound; that to the good, to the perfect, he is born, low as he now lies in evil and weakness.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
