The Mac OS roman character set Mac-Roman encoding is a one byte character encoding system, traditionally used by Macintosh operating system software. It has with the introduction with Mac OS X been replaced with UTF-8.

The first 128 characters conforms to the ASCII codepage (or cmap in Macintosh context), and the rest are allocated after the below scheme. It shall also be mentioned the different nature line feed and carriage return have in this codepage. Line feed is soft wrapping character and return is hard break character. A soft wrapped text does change width when its drawing frame is increased or decreased, much like the text this paragraph does. (Lines are terminated by CR on mac-roman, whereas CR+LF or just LF on DOS or Unix systems.)
