If I'm not mistaken, at least one character in CP437 has even been
reassigned.  Older graphics hardware and printers interpret 0xe1 as
U+03B2 GREEK SMALL LETTER BETA, and not as U+00DF LATIN SMALL LETTER
SHARP S, which can be quite annoying if you need the latter because
the glyphs are clearly different.
