Code Page 855 (CP855, DOS 855, DOS CP855, DOS Cyrillic) is an 8-bit character encoding. It is a member of the family of MS-DOS encodings intended for use with languages using the [[Cyrillic alphabet]. It got more use in Serbia, Macedonia and Bulgaria than in Russia, where CP866 was more popular. The lower half is the same as CP437 (and ASCII).
