Code page 865 differs from [[code page 437]] in three points: 0x9B (ø instead of ¢), 0x9D (Ø instead of ¥) and 0xAF (¤ instead of »). The letter [[Ø]] is required for the [[Danish language|Danish]] and [[Norwegian language|Norwegian]] languages.

In the BBS software [[Mike's BBS|MBBS]] and its descendant [[BBBS (software)|BBBS]], code page 865 was referred to as '''IBN''' (by contrast with IBM, which was used for code page 437).
