Code Page 863 (CP863, DOS 863, DOS CP863, DOS Canada French) is an 8-bit character encoding. It is a member of the family of MS-DOS encodings intended for use with Canadian French. The lower half is the same as CP437 (and ASCII), and the upper half has accented letters and a few other things such as box drawing characters and some symbols (including some Greek letters but not the whole Greek alphabet; they're apparently there for use in mathematics).
