Wikipedia vs. NP++ character sets

Re: Names of character sets
Today I noticed in Wikipedia a table in which it was stated that NP++ cannot handle “DOS (OEM)”. In the screen shots, shown in this thread, I see (among other OEM character sets) : OEM 850 and OEM US. Do I misunderstand the meaning of “DOS (OEM)”, or is Wikipedia in error?

It appears in “General Discussion”. It’s perfect.

According to the CP437 page, alternate names include “DOS (OEM)” (based on your link) and “OEM US” and “DOS Latin US”. Thus, since Notepad++ supports OEM US, it supports CP437 / “DOS(OEM)”, so Wikipedia is in error. (gasp!)

Probably these are all reasonable synonyms for N++ users:
- DOS (OEM)
- OEM US
- OEM 437
- the ‘box drawing’ character set

@PeterJones I corrected it, one less error in WP!
