And none of this even addresses what happens if you try to print something to a printer since a printer "Code Page" doesn't necessarily match what's on the screen. As long as you limit yourself to the first 128 ASCII codes you usually don't have problems.
Which is a problem for almost all people not using US English as their language...
German "umlauts", French and Spanish accented characters are all using codes above 128, regardless of the code pages involved... (OK, some pre-DOS printers were replacing certain characters <= ASCII 127 to print those, but for example in German, you were losing the brackets and braces in that case.)
