 | | Note: an earlier version of this document contained incorrect information about the MacRoman character set, because somehow I had obtained bogus data about what its layout actually is! The older version of this document presented MacRoman as being much closer to Latin1 than it actually is. This has now been corrected. |
 | | MacOS uses MacRoman, which is a superset of ASCII but is otherwise unrelated to Latin1. |
 | | Those characters which have entries in the Latin1 column but not in the CP-1252 or MacRoman columns are characters which probably cannot be displayed at all on a Macintosh: the standard fonts probably don't contain those characters. |
