 The '''Amstrad CP/M Plus character set''', sometimes also called the PCW Character Set, was used with the CP/M Plus operating system on Amstrad 8-bit computers: the CPC, PCW and Spectrum +3. It was a variant of [[ASCII]] that assigned printable renditions to the entire 8-bit character code space from 0 to 255, including control characters, though such controls (e.g., the [[C0 controls]]) were also used as control characters, which could make it hard to type them when you're intending to use them in their graphical form.
-Various accented characters, mathematical symbols, and Greek letters were included, as well as line-graphics characters (which were in the [[C1 controls]] range). [[LocoScript]] used this character set but used the C1 control range for control codes.
