ATASCII

The ATASCII character set, from ATAri Standard Code for Information Interchange, alternatively ATari ASCII, is the variation on ASCII used in the Atari 8-bit family of home computers, starting with the 1979 Atari 400/800 and all the way to the XEGS.

Like most other non-standard ASCIIs, ATASCII has its own special graphics symbols (arrows, blocks, circles, line segments of varying thickness, playing card colors, etc) corresponding to the control characters in standard ASCII (characters 0–31).
