The NeXT character set—also referred to as NeXTSTEP encoding, WE8NEXTSTEP, or next-multinational—was implemented on NeXT workstations running the NeXTSTEP and OPENSTEP operating systems beginning in 1988. This character encoding is based on the Adobe Systems' PostScript character set (known as Adobe Standard Encoding), with additional characters from ISO 8859-1 (Latin 1) filling unused code points, although these are assigned to different positions.
