This is a PC character set; it is not specific to DOS (although the code page numbers might be specific to DOS; I don't know). I am not sure how this should be mentioned in the article. --Zzo38 (talk) 02:38, 7 May 2021 (UTC)
- Yeah, it's an IBM-PC character set that's used by DOS, and pretty strongly associated with DOS, but is not unique to DOS. Pretty sure the numbers weren't invented by DOS. I also don't know the best way to present it.
