Dear Tom, In case it wasn’t obvious in my previous message: FreeDOS implements a codepage which contains a character with no Unicode equivalent (i.e. the forint sign). What I attempted is to present the UTC with plausible use cases (e.g. something converted from FreeDOS to Windows) to get them to include it in Unicode. My request on June 16 was pertaining specifically to HTMLHELP, a FreeDOS application which apparently has rudimentary Unicode support, but Wilhelm Spiegl already clarified that this application would not need a forint sign.
