In this article, we are going to address the topic of PostScript Standard Encoding from an analytical and critical perspective, with the purpose of generating a constructive debate around this topic that is so relevant today. We will delve into its different aspects, exploring its impact on society, its historical implications and its projection into the future. Through a detailed and rigorous analysis, we seek to offer a comprehensive and balanced view of PostScript Standard Encoding, with the aim of enriching knowledge and encouraging deep reflection on this highly important topic.

The PostScript Standard Encoding (often spelled StandardEncoding, aliased as PostScript[1]) is one of the character sets (or encoding vectors) used by Adobe Systems' PostScript (PS) since 1984.[2] In 1995, IBM assigned code page 1276 (CCSID 1276) to this character set.[3][4] NeXT based the character set for its NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP operating systems on this one.
The following table shows the PostScript Standard Encoding. Each character is shown with a potential Unicode equivalent. Codepoints 00hex (0) to 7Fhex (127) are nearly identical to ASCII. (The characters at positions 27hex and 60hex reflect an earlier interpretation of the visual appearance of those ASCII characters than the interpretation that was formalized in Unicode; see Quotation mark § Typewriters and early computers.) The upper half of the table contains punctuation and typographic characters, currency symbols, ligatured letters, a selection of modified base letters used in European languages, and a selection of diacritic marks to be used in composing accented letters.
