Code page 855

Code page 855 (also known as CP 855, IBM 00855, OEM 855, MS-DOS Cyrillic) is a code page used under MS-DOS to write Cyrillic script. At one time it was widely used in Serbia, Macedonia and Bulgaria, but it never caught on in Russia. This code page is not used much.

Code page layout

The following table shows code page 855. Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point and its decimal code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128–255) is shown, the first half (code points 0–127) being the same as ASCII; although code points 1–31 and 127 (00–1F_hex) have a different interpretation in some circumstances – see code page 437.

Code page 872

IBM code page 872 is a variant of code page 855; the only difference is that the euro sign (€) replaces the currency sign (¤).
