PETSCII
<character> /pet'skee/ PET ASCII. The variation (many
would say perversion) of the ASCII character set used by the
Commodore Business Machines' PET series of {personal
computers} and the later Commodore 64, Commodore 16, and
Commodore 128 computers. The PETSCII set used left-arrow
and up-arrow (as in old-style ASCII) instead of underscore and
caret, placed the unshifted alphabet at positions 65--90, put
the shifted alphabet at positions 193--218, and added {graphic
characters}.
