Code page 858

Code page 858 (CCSID 858) (also known as CP 858, IBM 00858, OEM 858) is a code page used under DOS to write Western European languages. Similarly to code page 850, Code page 858 supports the entire repertoire of ISO 8859-1, but in a different arrangement. Code page 858 was created from code page 850 in 1998 by changing code point 213 (D5hex) from dotless i (ı) (a character not included in ISO-8859-1) to the euro sign (€). Unlike most code pages modified to support the euro sign, the generic currency sign at CFhex (an ISO-8859-1 character, changed to the euro sign in ISO-8859-15) was not chosen as the character to replace.
