Code page 773 (also known as CP 773) is a code page used under DOS to write the Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian languages.

It is closely related to both code page 775 (used for the same languages) and the KBL encoding for Lithuanian. It retains the full set of box-drawing characters from code page 437 (except for the half blocks), whereas code page 775 only retains the code page 850 set. It does this by encoding the Lithuanian letters at their KBL locations rather than their code page 775 locations, [1] [2] which replaces half blocks and punctuation. Therefore it includes all letters (but not all characters) of ISO 8859-13.

Character set

The following table shows code page 773. Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128–255) is shown, the first half (code points 0–127) being the same as code page 437.

ISO/IEC 646 is a set of ISO/IEC standards, described as Information technology — ISO 7-bit coded character set for information interchange, and developed in cooperation with ASCII at least since 1964. Since its first edition in 1967 it has specified a 7-bit character code from which several national standards are derived.

In computing, a code page is a character encoding and as such it is a specific association of a set of printable characters and control characters with unique numbers. Typically each number represents the binary value in a single byte.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Code page 437</span> Character set of the original IBM PC

Code page 437 is the character set of the original IBM PC. It is also known as CP437, OEM-US, OEM 437, PC-8, or DOS Latin US. The set includes all printable ASCII characters as well as some accented letters (diacritics), Greek letters, icons, and line-drawing symbols. It is sometimes referred to as the "OEM font" or "high ASCII", or as "extended ASCII".

The Kamenický encoding, named for the brothers Jiří and Marian Kamenický, was a code page for personal computers running DOS, very popular in Czechoslovakia around 1985–1995. Another name for this encoding is KEYBCS2, the name of the terminate-and-stay-resident utility which implemented the matching keyboard driver. It was also named KAMENICKY.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Code page 866</span> Computer character set for Russian

Code page 866 is a code page used under DOS and OS/2 in Russia to write Cyrillic script. It is based on the "alternative code page" developed in 1984 in IHNA AS USSR and published in 1986 by a research group at the Academy of Science of the USSR. The code page was widely used during the DOS era because it preserves all of the pseudographic symbols of code page 437 and maintains alphabetic order of Cyrillic letters. Initially this encoding was only available in the Russian version of MS-DOS 4.01 (1990), but with MS-DOS 6.22 it became available in any language version.

Windows-1257 is an 8-bit, single-byte extended ASCII code page used to support the Estonian, Latvian and Lithuanian languages under Microsoft Windows. In Lithuania, it is standardised as LST 1590-3, alongside a modified variant named LST 1590-4.

Mazovia encoding is a character set used under DOS to represent Polish text. The character set derives from code page 437, with specific positions modified to accommodate Polish letters. Notably, the Mazovia encoding maintains the block graphic characters from code page 437, distinguishing it from IBM's later official Central European code page 852, which failed to preserve all block graphics, leading to incorrect display in programs such as Norton Commander.

Mac OS Central European is a character encoding used on Apple Macintosh computers to represent texts in Central European and Southeastern European languages that use the Latin script. This encoding is also known as Code Page 10029. IBM assigns code page/CCSID 1282 to this encoding. This codepage contains diacritical letters that ISO 8859-2 does not have, and vice versa.

Code page 775 is a code page used under DOS to write the Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian languages. In Lithuania, this code page is standardised as LST 1590-1, alongside the related Code page 778.

The programming language APL uses a number of symbols, rather than words from natural language, to identify operations, similarly to mathematical symbols. Prior to the wide adoption of Unicode, a number of special-purpose EBCDIC and non-EBCDIC code pages were used to represent the symbols required for writing APL.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">ZX Spectrum character set</span>

The ZX Spectrum character set is the variant of ASCII used in the ZX Spectrum family computers. It is based on ASCII-1967 but the characters ^, ` and DEL are replaced with ↑, £ and ©. It also differs in its use of the C0 control codes other than the common BS and CR, and it makes use of the 128 high-bit characters beyond the ASCII range. The ZX Spectrum's main set of printable characters and system font are also used by the Jupiter Ace computer.

Code page 770 is a code page used under DOS to write the Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian languages. It is a variant of code page 775 which does not cover the Polish language, but moves the remaining characters in a way that it retains all box-drawing and mathematical symbols from code page 437.

Code page 1118 is a code page used under DOS to write the Lithuanian language. It was previously standardised in Lithuania as LST 1283.

Code page 1117 is a code page used under DOS to write the Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian languages. It is closely related to both code page 773 and code page 775.

Code page 776 is a code page used under DOS to write the Lithuanian language. It is a modification of Code page 770 to support the accented Lithuanian letters and phonetic symbols for Lithuanian.

Code page 777 is a code page used under DOS to write the Lithuanian language. It is a modification of Code page 773 to support the accented Lithuanian letters and phonetic symbols for Lithuanian.

LST 1564:2000 is a character encoding used to write the Lithuanian language. It is a modification of ISO/IEC 8859-13 to support the accented Lithuanian letters.

LST 1590-4 is a character encoding used to write the Lithuanian language. It is a modification of Windows-1257 to support additional accented letters and phonetic notation. This is called Code page 58601 by FreeDOS.
