SBC-Standard The data standard for libraries

Character set CP850

Code page 850, the PC Multilingual character set (PC-850), is the traditional character set of the SBC standard. An SBC file may also be written in Windows-1252 or UTF-8; which character set applies is stated at position 17 of the record label.

The table shows all 256 characters, each with its decimal number underneath. The rows go in steps of sixteen: the row value plus the column value gives the number.

0–31 and 127: control characters, shown here with their IBM PC symbols 32–126: ASCII 128–255: code page 850 extension

Three characters are labelled rather than shown, because they would otherwise be invisible: number 32 is the space (SP), number 240 the soft hyphen (SHY) and number 255 the non-breaking space (NBSP).
