+'''Code Page 437''' ('''CP437'''; also known as '''Microsoft Code Page 437''', '''DOS Code Page 437''', '''IBM Code Page 437''', '''OEM 437''', '''MS-DOS Latin US''') is an 8-bit character encoding.

 The encoding is based on a set of glyphs that defines visible characters for nearly all of the available 256 code points. Often, some or all of the first 32 characters are replaced by the corresponding [[C0 controls|C0 control characters]]. Because of this, opinions differ as to the correct definition of "Code Page 437". In practice, it depends on context.
