Code page 775 (CCSID 775) [2] (also known as CP 775, IBM 00775, and OEM 775, [3] MS-DOS Baltic Rim [4] ) is a code page used under DOS to write the Estonian, Lithuanian and Latvian languages. [5] In Lithuania, this code page is standardised as LST 1590-1, alongside the related Code page 778 (LST 1590-2). [6] [7]

It is possible, but unusual, to write Polish, Swedish, Finnish, Norwegian, Danish and German using this code page due to it including all the characters in ISO 8859-13. The other code page used for Baltic languages is Windows-1257.

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.

Code page 915 is a code page used under IBM AIX and DOS to write the Bulgarian, Belarusian, Russian, Serbian and Macedonian but was never widely used. It would also have been usable for Ukrainian in the Soviet Union from 1933 to 1990, but it is missing the Ukrainian letter ge, ґ, which is required in Ukrainian orthography before and since, and during that period outside Soviet Ukraine. As a result, IBM created Code page 1124. It is an extension of ISO/IEC 8859-5. The original code page matched ISO/IEC 8859-5 directly.

Code page 922 is a code page used under IBM AIX and DOS to write the Estonian language. It is an extension and modification of ISO/IEC 8859-1, where the letters Ð/ð and Þ/þ used for Icelandic are replaced by the letters Š/š and Ž/ž respectively. This matches the encoding of these letters in Windows-1257 and ISO/IEC 8859-13.
