Codepage layout

[edit | edit source]

Characters are shown with their equivalent Unicode codes. Note that the grave, acute, circumflex (at 0xDF), tilde, diaeresis, and cedilla con be added over (in the case of the cedilla, under) letters to form accented letters.

Note that the alternative Latin small letter M, vertical bar, and euro sign were not originally part of this code page.
