Mac-Roman encodiing
From WikiMac, Everyone's Mac Knowledgebase
The Mac OS Roman character set Mac-Roman encoding is a one byte character encoding system, traditionally used by Mac OS. In Mac OS X, it has been replaced with Unicode.
The first 128 characters are equal to the ASCII character encoding (or 'cmap' in Macintosh context), and the rest are allocated as described below.
The Mac OS Roman character set is used for the following Mac OS localisations: U.S., British, Canadian French, French, Swiss French, German, Swiss German, Italian, Swiss Italian, Dutch, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Spanish, Catalan, Portuguese, Brazilian and the default International system.
Variants of this codepage are used for Croatian, Icelandic, Turkish, Romanian, and other encodings. Separate mapping tables are available for these encodings, see Mac-Romanian, Mac-Turkish, Mac-Iceland, Mac-Croatian.
