Macintosh novel
Mac OS Roman (also Macintosh Roman , MacRoman for short ) is the 8-bit character set used by Mac OS for Western Europe and America.
MacRoman is described in RFC 1345 . The characters that can be coded with seven bits correspond to the 7-bit US-ASCII . In addition to the 95 representable ASCII characters ( hexadecimal 20 hex –7E hex ), MacRoman encodes 128 further (80 hex –FF hex ), so a total of 223 of the theoretically possible 256 (= 2 8 ). No printable characters are assigned to positions 00 hex –1F hex and 7F hex , as control characters are located at these code positions .
MacRoman tried as many special characters of Western European languages, mathematics and typography cover, and partially by Adobe Inc. designed. The positions of the non-ASCII characters differ from those in the cross-system equivalent ISO 8859-1 and the Windows-1252 based on it.

The euro symbol (€) at position DB hex was introduced in 1998 with Mac OS 8.5 and replaced the generic currency symbol (¤). The normal space (SP) is at position 20 hex , the protected space (NBSP) is at position CA hex .
The Apple logo at code position F0 hex was coded by Apple at position U + F8FF when it switched to Unicode in the private use area , so it is not an official Unicode character.
Windows has the character set under code page 10000.
