Code Page 872 (CP872, DOS 872, DOS CP72) is an 8-bit character encoding. It is a member of the family of MS-DOS encodings intended for use with languages using the Cyrillic alphabet, a slight variant on CP855 with the euro sign in place of the generic currency sign (at position A4). The lower half is the same as CP437 (and ASCII).
