The code page 864 (also IBM864) is a PC DOS and MS-DOS - code page was developed and IBM. It encodes the Arabic script .
In the 1980s there were many mutually incompatible encodings for Arabic which all 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 the code page 720, which encodes every Arabic character only once and requires the font to be able to automatically select the correct form depending on its position, IBM's code page encodes each form separately, which means that no smart font technology is required to support the encoding , but the code page is incompatible with code page 437 for reasons of space .
The following table shows the repertoire of code page 864. Code positions 9B hex , 9C hex , A6 hex , A7 hex and FF hex are not used.
