Talk:ZX Spectrum character set

message: Does anyone remember a very early word processor for Urdu called "Wurdu" that ran on the Spectrum? Developed somewhere around Leeds / Bradford AFAIR. Does anyone have any refs, or the faintest notion of how it encoded Urdu text for storage?  Thanks  Andy Dingley (talk) 13:35, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

message: The character set table is flagged as "may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards."
If somebody can point out in what way it needs cleanig up, I'll do it.
Once thing I will do is tweek the 0x column entries, as it says left/right/down/up, etc., without the clarification that these are keypresses, not character output actions.

thread_title: Character Table may need cleanup

message: The only thing I can find looking at other character tables and the character table template is that the table should be numbered crossways not downwards. That would be unsuitable for the Spectrum chcracter table as there are so many entries that are words (tokens), which would give an unsuitably wide table. Consequently, I have removed the 'may need cleanup' tag.

thread_title: Character Table may need cleanup redux

message: The bulk of this article can be verified from the ZX Basic Manual (a reliable source on ZX Basic, surely?) of which a copy is available at World of Spectrum (free redistribution permission has been given by Amstrad plc.); World of Spectrum is considered by most Sinclair hobbyists to be reliable.  There are a few unverified claims, which I have tagged rather than removed because I gather them to be true but don't have references for them.  However, the article does not have an original research problem, being chiefly a recension of information in the aforementioned manual; I have thus removed the OR tag from the list of issues.

message: Was it possible to write the character values for the tokens to the screen without interpretation? If so, what happened?  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.81.0 (talk) 18:03, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

I have just added archive links to  on ZX Spectrum character set. Please take a moment to review my edit. You may add  after the link to keep me from modifying it, if I keep adding bad data, but formatting bugs should be reported instead. Alternatively, you can add  to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
