CODE PAGE 852

'Code page 852' (CP 852, IBM 852, OEM 852) is a code page to be used under MS-DOS with Central European languages that use Latin script (such as Polish, Romanian, Czech or Slovak).
Some of the box drawing characters were sacrificed in order to put in more accented letters (all printable characters from ISO 8859-2 are included). This had created disturbing visual effects in non-localized MS-DOS applications using these characters (e.g. Norton Commander). Several local encodings had been invented that avoid the problem, for example "encoding of Kamenický brothers" for Czech and Slovak.
