Almost precisely the same in Hungary with our https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/CWI-2 encoding, the local, “gracefully degrading” de facto standard character set against CP 852. Unlike Mazovia, which had multiple variants with some letters occupying different codepoints, at least in CWI–2’s variants only the § and Ft characters moved around, the latter of which I’ve already tried to get into Unicode partly leveraged by its presence in FreeDOS, but to no avail so far.
