Code page 437 is the character set of the original IBM PC, or MS-DOS. It is also known as CP437, OEM 437, PC-8, or MS-DOS Latin US. The set includes ASCII codes 32–126, extended codes for accented letters, some Greek letters, icons, and line-drawing symbols. It is sometimes referred to as the "OEM font" or "high ASCII", or as "extended ASCII". In a strict sense, this character set was not conceived as a code page; it was simply the graphical glyph repertoire available in the original IBM PC. This character set remains the primary font in the core of any EGA and VGA-compatible graphics card. Text shown when a PC reboots, before any other font can be loaded from a storage medium, typically is rendered with this "Code Page". Many file formats developed at the time of the IBM PC, such as .nfo, define this as the default encoding. This video is targeted to blind users.
