Code Page 437 is an 8-bit character encoding used in the original IBM PC. It is also known as "OEM 437" or "MS-DOS Latin US". It includes a selection of characters from the ASCII character set and supports several line drawing characters, allowing for the creation of simple graphics. It was widely used as the default character encoding on early PCs and continues to be used today in some legacy systems. It is sometimes referred to as the "OEM font" or "high ASCII", or as "extended ASCII" (one of many mutually incompatible ASCII extensions).
