Code page 869

The Greek language doesn't require the Greek alphabet. This code page supplies characters which can be used for any purpose, and my original statement is not wrong even if it's true that it's only used to write the Greek language. You made up a complex and basically unsourceable claim in favor of a simple prima facie true one, but whatever...).

Code page 869 (CCSID 869) (CP 869, IBM 869, OEM 869) is a code page used under DOS to write Greek[2][citation needed] and may also be used to get Greek letters for other uses such as math.[citation needed] It is also called DOS Greek 2.[3] It was designed to include all characters from ISO 8859-7.
