Code page 720

Code page 720 (also known as CP 720, IBM 00720,^[1] OEM 720) is a code page used under MS-DOS to write Arabic. The Windows (ANSI) code page for Arabic is Windows-1256.^[2]

Codepage layout

The following table shows code page 720.^[3] Each character is shown with its equivalent Unicode code point and its decimal code point. Only the second half of the table (code points 128–255) is shown, the first half (code points 0–127) being the same as ASCII; although code points 1–31 and 127 (00–1F_hex) have a different interpretation in some circumstances – see code page 437.
