Welcome! This is a simple page to show the standard PET/CBM Character Sets as supplied in various Commodore ROM chips. The standard character ROM is 2KB in size and contains two different character sets. Each character set consists of 128 individual characters. The sets were commonly called "Text" and "Graphic". The "Text" set has both Uppercase and Lowercase letters and some limited graphics symbols. The "Graphics" set has uppercase letters, and the full graphic symbol set.
The SuperPET and some later international versions contained a 4K ROM with 2 additional sets. For the SuperPET these included standard ASCII in one and the special APL set in the other. International sets had letters and symbols specific to the various local language.
