US/Canada (037, 1140) = ^ (caret)
Open Systems (1047) =  ? (logical NOT)
Greece (875) =  ? (pound currency)
Cyrllic (1154) = ? (soft)
Most other code pages - ? (cent)

Definitive information for your fave code page is at
http://www.ibm.com/software/globalization/cp/cp_cpgid.jsp

Since I use code page 924 (ISO 8859-15) and my keyboard doesn't have the
cent symbol, I remapped cntrl + \  to be the cent sign.  CMS OE users are
able to get around this using SET INPUT and SET OUTPUT, but that doesn't
work with Linux.
