Hej August!

Not surprising given that CP437 doesn't support CP866 encoding.  The only
encoding that properly supports differing languages is utf8.  CP437 falls
short of supporting anything other than the so-call higher ascii, which of
course is bogus.  All ascii are 7-bit characters and is well supported by most
encodings in the range of 0x00 to 0x7f.  Anything above that isn't ascii,
higher or otherwise.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
