PETSCII

(character)/pet'skee/ PET ASCII. The variation (manywould say perversion) of the ASCII character set used by theCommodore Business Machines' PET series of personal computers and the later Commodore 64, Commodore 16, andCommodore 128 computers. The PETSCII set used left-arrowand up-arrow (as in old-style ASCII) instead of underscore andcaret, placed the unshifted alphabet at positions 65--90, putthe shifted alphabet at positions 193--218, and added graphic characters.
