The code page 720 is a character set table in MS-DOS and was designed by Microsoft. It encodes the Arabic script .
In the 1980s, there were many mutually incompatible encodings for Arabic, all of which had in common that they replaced the ASCII characters. Microsoft and IBM then tried to develop a standardized coding for Arabic based on ASCII. Finally, IBM published their code page 864 while Microsoft used its code page 720.
In contrast to code page 864, which encodes each form of an Arabic character individually at the expense of most of the characters from code page 437 , code page 720 codes each Arabic character only once and expects the font to be able to automatically select the correct form using smart font technology . In return, both the frame drawing characters and some mathematical characters from code page 437 can be encoded.
The following table shows the repertoire of code page 720.
