Thanks but which MSX character is which Unicode symbol?
I've got almost half of the Polish character set so far:

I'm Swedish but, as for the Danish/Norweigan variants of "Ä" and "Ö" the following seems to be right:
Æ: U+00C6 "Latin capital letter AE" (MSX: $92)
æ: U+00E6 "Latin small letter AE" (MSX: $91)
Ø: U+00D8 "Latin capital letter O with stroke" (MSX: $9D)
ø: U+00F8 "Latin small letter O with stroke" (MSX: $9B)
It looks like "Æ" is already in the international chara set though, only they have been made a little fater.
The "Ø" pair are the only new ones as far as I can see, replacing the characters on either side of the "£"-symbol.
Danish/Norweigan "Å" should be the same as the Swedish/Finnish one in the international chara set:
Å: U+00C5 "Latin capital letter A with ring above" (MSX: $8F)
å: U+00E5 "Latin small letter A with ring above" (MSX: $83)
elwro07 - can you also help with the rest of the table? (2d half...)
Hey, I have both 728 and 738 with Swedish/Finnish keyboard and ROM. Dumped the ROMs and both are identical to the file found on the first page here:
https://download.file-hunter.com/System%20ROMs/machines/spectravideo/
svi-738_basic-bios1_se.rom
Interestingly the SVI-728 EPROM has a sticker on top: "FIN 1.1"
Thanks, that's good to know. But can you give us the sha1sums of both ROMs that you dumped, to be 100% sure?
Sure:
87f4d0fa58cfe9cef818a3185df2735e6da6168c svi-738_basic-bios1_se.rom
87f4d0fa58cfe9cef818a3185df2735e6da6168c svi728-fin.bin
87f4d0fa58cfe9cef818a3185df2735e6da6168c svi738-fin.bin
Thanks for confirming!
Now, I hope elwro07 can further assist with the character table for the Polish ROM.
elwro07, please?
