CWI-2 (a.k.a. CWI, cp-hu, HUCWI, or HU8CWI2) is a Hungarian code page frequently used in the 1980s and early 1990s. If this code page is erroneously interpreted as code page 437, it will still be fairly readable (e.g. Á in place of Å).

Characters

The following table shows "CWI-2". Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point and its decimal code point. Code points 1–31 and 127 (0x000x1F) have a different interpretation in some circumstances – see code page 437. Black borders highlight differences from code page 437.

The Unicode encoding used by recode appears to differ in a number of code points:

9F | E01F | HUNGARIAN FORINT (CWI_9F) E1 | 03B2 | GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA E6 | 03BC | GREEK SMALL LETTER MU ED | 2205 | EMPTY SET F8 | 2218 | RING OPERATOR F9 | 00B7 | MIDDLE DOT FA | 2022 | BULLET

Some dot matrix printers of the NEC Pinwriter series, namely the P3200/P3300 (P20/P30), P6200/P6300 (P60/P70), P9300 (P90), P7200/P7300 (P62/P72), P22Q/P32Q, P3800/P3900 (P42Q/P52Q), P1200/P1300 (P2Q/P3Q), P2000 (P2X) and P8000 (P72X), supported the installation of optional font EPROMs. Named "CWI" the optional ROM #7 "Hungaria" included this encoding, invokable via escape sequence ESC R (n) with (n) = 21.
