The default (hardware) DOS charset is CP437. Char 130 will appear as
an accented e, forward accent /. But in MS-Windows (ANSI charset) or
any system using ISO-Latin-1 it will appear as something else. These
systems use char 233 to display this character, which is the Greek
letter "theta" in CP437.
It is the DOS default charset that is non-standard. In order to view
char 233 correctly in DOS, one can convert it to char 130 first or
change the VGA display charset to ISO-Latin-1 (CP819).
