Batch files use a DOS character set, as defined by the computer, e.g. Code page 437.
Morse code | Jimmy Page | Internal Revenue Code | Patti Page | The Chicago Code | Bettie Page | The Da Vinci Code | Chapter 11, Title 11, United States Code | ZIP code | The Front Page | source code | Page | Handley Page Halifax | International Code of Zoological Nomenclature | Ellen Page | DVD region code | Criminal Code of Canada | Uniform Code of Military Justice | Larry Page | Handley Page | code | Page McConnell | Baudot code | web page | Universal Product Code | Page County, Virginia | United States House of Representatives Page | United States Code | QR code | International Civil Aviation Organization airport code |
A supplemental feature was that the block graphic characters of code page 437 remained unchanged (IBM's official Central-European code page 852 did not have this property, making programs like Norton Commander look funny with corners and joints of border lines broken by accented letters).
