'''PETSCII''' ('''PET Standard Code of Information Interchange'''), also known as '''CBM ASCII''', is the [[Character encoding|character set]] used in [[Commodore International|Commodore Business Machines']] 8-bit [[home computer]]s.

This character set was first used by the [[Commodore PET|PET]] from 1977, and was subsequently used by the  [[Commodore CBM-II|CBM-II]], [[VIC-20]], [[Commodore 64]], [[Commodore 16]], [[Commodore 116]], [[Commodore Plus/4|Plus/4]], and [[Commodore 128]]. However, the [[Amiga]] personal computer family instead uses standard [[ISO/IEC 8859-1]].
