TheABICOMP Character Set was anencoded repertoire of characters used in Brazil.[1] It was devised and named afterAssociação Brasileira de Indústria de Computadores, a Brazilian computer industry association defunct in 1992.[2] It was adopted by Brazilian-made computers and several printers brands.[3][4][5] This code page is known on Star printers andFreeDOS asCode page 3848.
ABICOMP was different from the Brazilian standardBraSCII (very similar toISO 8859-1).[6] Although once widely used in Brazil, the character lost popularity due to of the ubiquity of other character sets likeISO 8859-1 and laterUnicode.
The ABICOMP character set primarily contained characters to cover thePortuguese language. It also contained characters for other languages such asSpanish,French,Italian andGerman. However, the quotation marks "«" and "»" used onEuropean Portuguese,European Spanish, French and Italian are missing.
