Re: [Freedos-user] How can I make FreeDOS correctly display the "ã" character?

[Vacek Nules via Freedos-user]

Hi Davi,

Your codepage is probably set to CP437, which does not contain the "ã"
character. Change your codepage to CP850 (or CP858 if you also need the
Euro sign) and try again.

Cheers,
Vacek

[Freedos-user] FreeDOS code page Unicode compatibility

[Vacek Nules]

Hi everyone,

I'm Vacek Nules, a software developer from Hungary. I’ve also posted this
message to the *devel* mailing list, but after accidentally sending it to
the list owner they’ve referred me to the *user* list, hence I repost it
here.
I’m the author of Unicode proposal L2/23-060, which concerns the addition
of a "Ft" character representing the Hungarian forint to Unicode, in a
similar vein to CP437's peseta sign.
Although the initial opinion was supporting, acceptance of this proposal
has been stalled by some dissenting members of the Unicode Technical
Committee despite this character having been supported on many different
(mostly historic and Hungarian) computer systems, including FreeDOS, which
has a Ft sign at 0x9F in code page 57781 (Hungarian), which is currently
unmappable to Unicode because of this character missing.
I'd like to ask the community's opinion and possible endorsements to get
the UTC to accept the symbol, which is also needed for porting other DOS
software from Hungary (some still in productive non-hobby use, e.g.
point-of-sale systems).

Thanks,
Vacek
