http://www.eki.ee/letter/chardata.cgi?ucode=00BE found in charsets: 8859-1 (BE); 8859-13 (BE); 8859-8 (BE); 8859-9 (BE); CP1116 (F3); CP1122 (B9); CP1252 (BE); CP1254 (BE); CP1255 (BE); CP1256 (BE); CP1257 (BE); CP1258 (BE); CP775 (F3); CP850 (F3); CP857 (F3); CP863 (AD); Dangerous the differences between char sets. I was suprised it is not in ASCII also. I know my Epson fX80 with IBM supplied ROM did have it.
