Code page 858 (also known as CP 858, IBM 00858, OEM 858) is a code page used under DOS to write Western European languages.
Code page 858 was created from code page 850 in 1998 by changing code point 213 (D5hex) from dotless i ‹ı› to the euro sign ‹€›.
Still, instead of adding support for the new code page 858, IBM's PC DOS 2000, also released in 1998, changed the definition of the existing code page 850 to what IBM called modified code page 850 to include the euro sign at code point 213. More recent IBM products implemented codepage 858 under its own ID.
Code page layout
The following table shows code page 858. 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 (00–1Fhex and 7Fhex) have a different interpretation in some circumstances – see code page 437.
