Character Encoding: CP 437

The CP-437, also known as DOS Latin US, is a character encoding standard developed by IBM. It was primarily designed for the English language, although it includes characters for several other languages and special symbols. Beyond English, CP-437 provides support for characters used in various Western European languages (such as German and Swedish), includes letters from the Greek alphabet, and features line-drawing symbols. It employs an 8-bit encoding scheme, which can represent up to 256 characters. The first 128 characters are identical to those in the ASCII standard.
