==OEM code pages==
Hardware code pages are also [[OEM code page]]s. The designation "OEM", for "[[original equipment manufacturer]]", indicates that the character set could be changed by the manufacturer to meet different markets.

However, OEM code pages do not necessarily reside in ROM, but include character sets uploaded as [[raster font]]s into the font RAM of suitable display adapters (like [[HGC+]] with [[RAMFONT]], [[Enhanced Graphics Adapter|EGA]], [[VGA]], etc.) and printers as well. Hence, the group of OEM code pages areis a superset of hardware code pages.
