Code page 865 (also known as CP 865, IBM 00865, OEM 865, MS-DOS Nordic) is a code page used under MS-DOS to write Nordic languages (except Icelandic, for which code page 861 is used).
Code page 865 differs from code page 437 in three points: 0x9B (‹ø› instead of ‹¢›), 0x9D (‹Ø› instead of ‹¥›), and 0xAF (‹¤ instead of ‹»›). The letter ‹Ø ø› is required for Danish and Norwegian languages.
In the BBS software MBBS and its descendant BBBS, code page 865 was referred to as IBN (by contrast with IBM, which was used for code page 437).

Famous quotes containing the words code and/or page:
“Motion or change, and identity or rest, are the first and second secrets of nature: Motion and Rest. The whole code of her laws may be written on the thumbnail, or the signet of a ring.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“So here they are, the dog-faced soldiers, the regulars, the fifty-cents-a-day professionals riding the outposts of the nation, from Fort Reno to Fort Apache, from Sheridan to Stark. They were all the same. Men in dirty-shirt blue and only a cold page in the history books to mark their passing. But wherever they rode and whatever they fought for, that place became the United States.”
—Frank S. Nugent (1908–1965)
