Code page 850 - Definition

Related Words: Greek, Teletype, Zeitgeist, Argot, Axiology, Canon, Cant, Census, Cipher

The code page 850 is a code page which was used in occidental Europe, under systems such as DOS. It has been largely replaced with ISO 8859-1 and UTF-8, but is still sometimes used.

CP850 differs from CP437 in what many of the box drawing characters, Greek letters and various symbols have been replaced with additional Latin letters with diacritics, thus greatly improving support for Western European languages (all characters from ISO 8859-1 are included).

A modification of CP850 is CP858, differing only in the codepoint 0xD5: a dotless-i (ı) in CP850, which is replaced with a euro sign (€) in CP858.
