Code page 899

IBM code page 899 (CCSID 899) is a computing code page used under DOS to type mathematical symbols. It is also used by some printers.[1] It contains the same characters as code page 259, but in a different arrangement.[2]

Code page 1092

Code page 1092 (CCSID 1092) is very similar to code page 899. The only difference is that code 0xC8 is mapped to ─ U+2500 BOX DRAWINGS LIGHT HORIZONTAL[6][7] instead of ― U+2015 HORIZONTAL BAR.
