The Amstrad CP/M Plus character set (alternatively known as PCW character set or ZX Spectrum +3 character set) is any of a group of 8-bit character sets introduced by Amstrad/Locomotive Software for use in conjunction with their adaptation of Digital Research's CP/M Plus on various Amstrad CPC / Schneider CPC and Amstrad PCW / Schneider Joyce machines. The character set was also used on the Amstrad ZX Spectrum +3 version of CP/M.
At least on the ZX Spectrum +3 it existed in eight language-specific variants (based on ISO/IEC 646) depending on the selected locale of the system: USA (default), France, Germany, UK, Denmark, Sweden, Italy and Spain.
Another slight variant of the character set was used by LocoScript.
In languages 1 to 7, certain characters in the range 0..127 are swapped with characters in the range 128..255 of the character set, as shown in the following table:
