> Typically, this 8bit set is called the 'ascii' set. Maybe by you; not by the rest of the world. ASCII is a 7-bit character set, always has been, always will be. That's the problem -- no room for international characters. Hence Latin-1 (the top 128 characters are pretty much all accented letters) and Unicode etc.
The IBM character set is more likely to be called, surprisingly, the IBM graphics character set -- the IBM PCs used it, some IBM compatible printers did, no-one else. Epson printers had italic characters in the top half! Regards, Ben A L Jemmett.
