The mappings for Apple's old character sets are available at:

I'd like to understand what character encoding�an application that runs on�MacOS uses.� Just as Windows applications generally use code pages and�UNIX applications use�ISO-8859-X character set, what about MacOS applications?

Is there any website�that shows the encoding of characters of the MacOS character sets?
