Mac OS Gaelic is a character encoding created for the Irish Gaelic language, based on the Welsh Mac OS Celtic encoding but replacing 23 characters with Gaelic characters. It was developed by Michael Everson, and was in his CeltScript fonts[1] and on some fonts included with the Irish localization of Mac OS 6.0.8 and 7.1 and on. FreeDOS calls it code page 58619.[2]
Like ISO 8859-14, this codepage represents the Irish Gaelic and Welsh languages.
