== Character set == The following tables show code page 437. Each character is shown with its equivalent [[Unicode]] code point (when it is not equal to the character's code). A [[tooltip]], generally available only when one points to the immediate left of the character, shows the Unicode code point name and the decimal [[Alt code]]. See also the notes below, as there are multiple equivalent Unicode characters for some code points. Although the ROM provides a graphic for all 256 different possible 8-bit codes, some [[API]]s will not print some code points, in particular the range 0-31 and the code at 127.<ref name="IBM_1986_437"/> Instead, they will interpret them as control characters. For instance, many methods of outputting text on the original IBM PC would interpret [[hexadecimal|hex]] codes 07, 08, 0A, and 0D as [[BEL (ASCII)|BEL]], [[BS (ASCII)|BS]], [[LF (ASCII)|LF]], and [[CR (ASCII)|CR]], respectively. Many printers were also unable to print these characters. {|{{chset-table-header1|Code page 437<ref name="Unicode_1996_437"/><ref name="cpgid437pdf"/><ref name="CPGID_00437"/><ref name="icu"/>}} |- |{{chset-left1|0x<br/>0}} |{{chset-ctrl1|Alt+0 U+0000 NUL|{{resize|85%|[[Null character|NUL]]}}|fn={{Efn|0 draws a blank space, but usage as the [[C string handling|C string]] terminator means it is more accurately translated as NUL.
