MSX character set
MSX character sets are a group of single- and double-byte character sets developed by Microsoft for MSX computers. They are based on code page 437.
Character sets[]
The following table shows the MSX character set. Each character is shown with a potential Unicode equivalent if available. Control characters and other non-printing characters are represented by their names.
Character set differences exist, depending on the target market of the machine. These are the variations:
- Arabic
- Brazilian
- German DIN
- International
- Japanese
- Korean
- Russian
The German DIN and International character sets are identical, apart from the style of zero (0) character. The international character set has a zero with a slash, while the DIN character set has a dotted zero.
The MSX terminal is compatible with VT-52 escape codes, plus extra control codes shown below.
